The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the European Union's comprehensive data protection and privacy law that took effect on May 25, 2018. It establishes a harmonized framework across all 27 EU member states, governing how organizations collect, process, store, and transfer personal data of EU residents.
GDPR applies to any organization worldwide that offers goods or services to EU residents or monitors their behavior—regardless of where the organization is located.

Yes, GDPR has extraterritorial reach. It applies to any organization, regardless of location, that offers goods or services to people in the EU or monitors their behavior. If your website serves EU customers, your app is downloaded by EU residents, or your marketing targets EU audiences, GDPR likely applies. Non-compliance can result in fines up to €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover.
GDPR has a two-tier penalty structure. Upper tier fines reach up to €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover for violations of core principles, data subject rights, or international data transfers. Lower tier fines reach up to €10 million or 2% of turnover for controller/processor obligation violations. Since 2018, supervisory authorities have issued billions of euros in fines, including record penalties to Meta, Amazon, and Google.
A data controller determines the purposes and means of processing personal data—deciding why and how data is processed. A data processor processes data on behalf of the controller based on instructions. GDPR imposes different obligations on each: controllers have primary compliance responsibility, while processors must maintain security, keep records, and only process data per controller instructions. Organizations often act as both.
Organizations must respond to data subject requests without undue delay and within one month of receipt. For complex or numerous requests, you can extend this by two additional months (three months total), but you must inform the individual within the initial one-month period. Responses are generally provided free of charge, though a reasonable fee may be charged for manifestly unfounded or excessive requests.
A DPO is required if your organization is a public authority, if your core activities require regular and systematic monitoring of data subjects at large scale, or if your core activities involve large-scale processing of special category data. The DPO can be an employee or external service provider and must report to the highest management level. Even if not required, appointing a DPO is considered best practice.
GDPR restricts transfers outside the EEA unless adequate safeguards exist. Transfer mechanisms include EU adequacy decisions (for countries like the UK, Japan, Switzerland), Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs), approved certifications, and specific derogations. Post-Schrems II, organizations must also assess whether destination country laws undermine the effectiveness of these safeguards.
