ENCourse Introduction
In the global information economy, personal data has become the driving force behind online activities, but with it come privacy and personal data protection issues. The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and China's Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL) came into effect on 25 May 2018 and 1 November 2021 respectively, aiming to protect individuals' rights to personal data and regulate personal data processing activities.
The GDPR has a very broad scope of application: any organisation that collects, transmits, retains or processes personal data relating to individuals in all EU member states is subject to it, regardless of whether the organisation is located in the EU. Non‑compliance can result in administrative fines of up to 4% of global annual turnover or €20 million. This online course uses interactive scenarios, Q&A and other formats to introduce the background of the GDPR, interpret its key contents and share compliance examples in plain language, aiming to deepen participants' understanding of the latest EU regulations. By taking this GDPR online course, you will learn how to lead and enforce data protection across the entire organisation, while learning more about individuals' rights and measures to effectively respond to data breaches.
