General Data Protection Regulation

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a law in Europe that helps protect people's data and make sure it is kept private and secure. It protects people's personal information, like their name, email, and address, and makes sure companies and websites follow rules about how information is collected and stored. It also gives people more control over their data, so they can decide what companies can do with it.
