GDPR
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European Union law that governs how organizations collect, store, process, and share personal data of EU residents.
GDPR, which took effect in 2018, is the most comprehensive data protection regulation in the world. It gives EU residents rights over their personal data - including the right to access, correct, delete, and port their data. Organizations that process EU residents' data must comply regardless of where the organization is located.
Key GDPR requirements include: obtaining explicit consent for data processing, maintaining records of processing activities, implementing data protection by design, appointing data protection officers for large-scale processing, reporting data breaches within 72 hours, and conducting data protection impact assessments for high-risk processing.
For AI platforms, GDPR compliance is particularly important because AI systems process large volumes of personal data. This includes the content of messages, email data, contact information, and behavioral patterns. Pocodot implements GDPR-aligned practices including data minimization, purpose limitation, storage limitation, and user rights management.
