GDPR

EU regulation governing the collection and processing of personal data.

Full Definition

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive EU data privacy law that governs how organizations collect, store, process, and share personal data of EU residents. For HR teams, GDPR applies to all employee personal data — including payroll records, performance reviews, health information, and recruitment data. Key GDPR principles include lawful basis for processing, data minimization, accuracy, storage limitation, and data subject rights. Non-compliance can result in fines of up to €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover.
