EU Data & AI Acts

GDPR

General Data Protection Regulation

Law / regulation EU European Union Since 2016

The EU's personal data regime: lawful basis, purpose limitation, data minimisation, data subject rights, records of processing, transfer rules, and breach notification within 72 hours.

For a data platform it is the source of most catalogue metadata obligations you cannot avoid: what personal data you hold, why you hold it, who it goes to, and how long you keep it. ISO/IEC 27701 and the EU Cloud Code of Conduct are the usual ways of evidencing it.
