GDPR Compliance | Key Principles & Obligations
Personal data must be processed lawfully, fairly, and transparently, collected only for specified and legitimate purposes, limited to what is necessary, kept accurate, and retained no longer than required. Once the purpose is fulfilled or consent withdrawn, data must be erased or anonymised.
Consent must be freely given, informed, specific, and unambiguous, presented in plain language. Individuals may withdraw consent at any time. Processing children's data for online services requires verifiable parental consent, with strict limits on profiling and targeted advertising directed at minors.
Individuals have the right to access, correct, or erase their personal data. Organisations must provide a clear complaints mechanism and inform individuals of their right to escalate to a supervisory authority. Appropriate security safeguards must be in place. Data breaches posing a risk must be reported to the supervisory authority within 72 hours and to affected individuals promptly where the risk is high.
Organisations conducting large-scale data processing or monitoring must appoint a Data Protection Officer and conduct periodic Data Protection Impact Assessments. Cross-border data transfers outside the EU/EEA require adequate protections via adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, or binding corporate rules. Processors must act only on documented controller instructions under a binding agreement. Supervisory authorities hold powers to investigate, enforce, and impose penalties for non-compliance.
Penalties for Non-Compliance
The GDPR introduces serious financial consequences for lapses in compliance, applied as a two-tier system:
Up to €10 million or 2% of total worldwide annual turnover (whichever is higher) for failures such as inadequate record-keeping, insufficient security safeguards, or failure to notify a breach.
Up to €20 million or 4% of total worldwide annual turnover (whichever is higher) for more serious violations, including breaches of core processing principles, unlawful cross-border transfers, or failure to respect data subjects’ rights, including those of children.
These penalties apply per violation and are enforceable by the relevant supervisory authority in each member state. Decision makers must treat compliance as a board-level risk and governance priority.
