GDPR, effective May 2018, reshapes data privacy globally, affecting U.S. businesses engaging with EU residents. It mandates strict data protection, enhancing transparency and customer control, thereby fostering trust. However, compliance poses challenges, especially for SMEs, due to regulatory complexity, resource constraints, and potential fines. Companies must implement robust data management and security, ensure user rights, and adjust operations to meet GDPR standards. Proactive compliance can enhance competitiveness and provide strategic advantages in a privacy-focused market.
