Does the website builder comply with GDPR rules?

It is important to first understand what is meant by GDPR rules!

The General Data Protection Regulation is a European Union regulation on Information privacy in the European Union and the European Economic Area. The GDPR is an important component of EU privacy law and human rights law, in particular Article 8 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.

The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) went into force on May 25, 2018. The groundbreaking policy, which was designed to harmonize privacy and data protection laws across Europe, showed great promise while it was being developed. It was also meant to help EU citizens better understand how their personal information was being used and to encourage them to file a complaint if their rights were violated. The GDPR was a new legislative framework that acknowledged that users should give their informed consent before using any (personal) information, and that there should be clear standards for businesses that want to operate in the European Union.

However, putting the policy into practice is showing how much more work needs to be done before the GDPR is fully operational. There are still a number of problems that the GDPR was designed to address, as well as a few new challenges, that European individuals, businesses, and data governance systems must deal with. In order for the GDPR to be more effective in the months and years to ahead, tougher penalties, increased cooperation, and an admission of some of the policy’s blind spots are all urgently required.

The seven key principles of GDPR Rules are:

  • Lawfulness, fairness and transparency.
  • Purpose limitation.
  • Data minimisation.
  • Accuracy.
  • Storage limitation.
  • Integrity and confidentiality (security)
  • Accountability.
