Overview

The EU GDPR was introduced to harmonise data protection laws across the EU, strengthen individuals’ rights over their personal information, and establish clear responsibilities for organisations that process personal data.

EU GDPR is the cornerstone of data privacy legislation in the European Union. This course provides a comprehensive overview of the regulation, including its evolution, core principles, legal bases for data processing, and the rights it grants to individuals.

Learners will explore how to identify and manage personal and special category data, understand the obligations of data controllers and processors, and implement practical compliance strategies, such as consent management, breach notification, and data subject rights.
