PRIVACY AND DATA PROTECTION 2

General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679)

Abstract

The General Data Protection Regulation was recently adopted by the EU in order to keep

up to pace with the development of new digital and cyberspace trends like big data, data brokers,

algorithmic decision making and data breaches. The regulation seeks to protect natural persons

with regard to the processing of personal data by making that safeguard to be a fundamental right

under EU laws. the regulation contains 99 articles that stipulate rights of persons and

responsibilities placed on organizations.it also contains eight individuals rights ranging from

allowing persons to have easier access to what data businesses hold about them, to clear

obligation for organizations to obtain consent. Most importantly, the limit placed on fines for the

violation has increased from £500,000 to at least €20million. The regulation took effect on 25

May 2018 and covers all of the 31 EU/EEA member states as the drafters have managed to bring

into line data protection bylaws at both EU and national levels (Official Journal of the European

Union, 2018). The regulation contains a whole new set of provisions that seek to offer a

principle-driven, human-rights oriented, and processing focused approach to personal data

protection.

and freedoms of EU citizen's digital life. Diaz also demonstrates how and why the regulations

are up to date and how they will modernize the value of privacy in the EU. Diaz then concludes

that GDPR regulations will be effective because the provisions aren't constrained by existing

fragmented EU member states individual regulations. However, one shortcoming of the article is

that it has failed to deeply look at the logistics and processes that organizations and businesses

are using or will be forced to implement in trying to comply with the regulations. Nonetheless,
