Privacy and Data Protection based on the GDPR

As technology advances and our world becomes more interconnected, the significance of personal information continues to escalate, representing a considerable and increasingly valuable resource. Essential to the European common market is the free flow of data; nevertheless, this same free flow presents a significant challenge in safeguarding the fundamental rights that are guaranteed to all people within the European Union. To safeguard these rights, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was introduced, a piece of legislation that applies throughout the European Economic Area and, to some extent, globally.

This book demonstrates that the GDPR is not incomprehensible and that its principles are, in fact, relatively straightforward. It will assist anyone responsible for or involved in the processing of personal data in benefiting from innovative data processing technologies without being unnecessarily hindered by the restrictions of the

GDPR. Numerous examples, references to relevant publications from the European Data Protecti on Board (the European supervisory authority), news articles, and case law clarify the law’s requirements, making them accessible and transparent.

Leo’s book makes the legal requirements comprehensible and applicable for anyone who utilizes personal data for work, in sports clubs and associations, or in any other context. Absolutely indispensable.
