General data protection Act
General Data Protection Act is a law framed by European Union which governs the
fundamental right of UK citizens to protect their personal information in an organisation. It came
into effect on May 25, 2018 and is applied to all organisations as well as businesses within the
European Union along with those companies who supply goods and services to UK citizens
(Groot, 2020). The primary motive behind this legislation is to provide a set of data protection
law that should be followed by all the member countries of European Union. It allows for
lawfulness, transparency and fairness as it grants more control to UK citizens over how their
personal information can be used by different websites and entities. It says that personal data of
citizens can only be used for specific lawful purpose or legitimate interests. This legislation
assists in adhering confidence and trust in citizens about their personal data, which it is expected
to increase trade and commerce. For compliance of this legislation effectively a data protection
officer (DPO) is also appointed in order to ensure that regulations of this law are being followed.
