Practical privacy - GDPR explained
summary
GDPR replaces the old directive with a directly enforceable law, raises fines to €20 million or 4% of global turnover per incident, and requires demonstrable accountability: provenance logs, Privacy Impact Assessments and Data Protection Impact Assessments, and breach notification within 72 hours. Practical fixes include hash email addresses for suppression lists, truncating IPs, avoiding unnecessary sensitive fields, offering machine-readable data export for portability, and treating third‑party trackers and analytics as shared compliance risks.
