What is AVG/GDPR
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDG), also known as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), is the European regulation designed to improve the privacy and protection of all personal data. The AVG/GDPR sets strict requirements for how organizations collect, process and protect personal data, with the goal of strengthening and safeguarding individuals' privacy rights.

The AVG/GDPR provides a framework for organizations to manage and ensure data and information privacy. Compliance with these regulations is required by law, as fines can be as high as 4% of annual revenue. In addition, it offers the following benefits:
- Strengthening customer trust by demonstrating that their personal data is treated seriously and carefully
- Reducing the risk of data breaches
- Competitive advantage by demonstrating your organization's commitment to privacy and data protection
- Improving control and understanding of the processing and storage of personal data
The AVG/GDPR requires organizations to take appropriate technical and organizational measures to implement privacy by design and privacy by default principles. That means integrating privacy and data protection from the design phase of products and services, with default settings that always maximize privacy.
In addition, in certain cases, organizations must appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO) (aka Data Protection Officer), conduct regular privacy impact assessments and be able to respond quickly and effectively to data breaches. Read about the duties of a Data Protection Officer here?
