The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) aims to give consumers more control over their personal data. It introduces new rights and enforcement mechanisms to protect individuals' information. The GDPR is seen as a significant improvement over previous data protection laws, addressing challenges posed by modern technology. The regulation prioritizes consumer control more than any other European law. Comparing GDPR with the Data Protection Directive (DPD), it is clear that the GDPR is more in touch with the current globalized market and technological advancements.
