GDPR regulates the lawful processing of personal data, mandates transparency from data processors, ensures data accuracy, restricts marketing activities, and governs automated profiling and data sharing, requiring robust technical and organizational safeguards.

Under GDPR, personal data encompasses a wide range of information, including online identifiers (IP addresses, cookies), sensitive data (such as health records, caste, criminal records), and pseudonymised data, which can be subject to GDPR rules based on the difficulty of re-identifying the data subject.
