· Protects individuals’ privacy rights by giving them control over their personal data.
· Requires businesses to be transparent in how they handle personal data.
· Imposes penalties for non-compliance, which can include significant fines (up to 4% of global annual turnover or €20 million, whichever is greater).
· Ensures better data security practices and promotes consumer trust in businesses handling sensitive information.
