Defining GDPR
GDPR is known as the General Data Protection Regulation, a set of rules that governs the collection, processing, and sharing of personal data in the EU and the UK. The GDPR aims to protect the privacy and rights of individuals and give them more control over their data. The GDPR applies to any business that offers goods or services to individuals in the EU or the UK or monitors their behavior.
The aim of the GDPR is to ensure good information handling practice.
Learning about Data Sovereignty
Data sovereignty is the principle that data is subject to the laws and regulations of the country where it is stored or processed. This means that your data can have different levels of protection and access depending on where it is located. Data sovereignty is important for businesses that operate across borders and need to comply with different legal and regulatory frameworks.
Supporting Data Sovereignty with Grow
Grow’s European data center in London, UK ensures that your data stays within that region and is not transferred to any other jurisdiction. This way, you can comply with the data protection laws and regulations of your region, such as the GDPR.
