It also addresses the export of personal data outside the EU and EEA. The GDPR aims primarily to give control to citizens and residents over their personal data and to simplify the regulatory environment for\u00c2\u00a0international business\u00c2\u00a0by unifying the regulation within the EU.<\/p>\n<p>A processor of personal data must clearly disclose any data collection, declare the lawful basis and purpose for data processing, how long data is being retained, and if it is being shared with any third-parties or outside of the EU. Data subjects have the right to request a\u00c2\u00a0portable\u00c2\u00a0copy of the data collected by a processor in a common format, and the right to have their data erased under certain circumstances. Public authorities, and businesses whose core activities centre around regular or systematic processing of personal data, are required to employ a\u00c2\u00a0data protection officer\u00c2\u00a0(DPO), who is responsible for managing compliance with the GDPR. Businesses must report any\u00c2\u00a0data breaches\u00c2\u00a0within 72 hours if they have an adverse effect on user privacy.<\/p>\n<p>The regulation applies if the data controller, or processor\u00c2\u00a0or the data subject (person) is based in the EU. Under certain circumstances,\u00c2\u00a0the regulation also applies to organisations based outside the EU if they collect or process personal data of individuals located inside the EU. Some of the features of GDPR are as follows.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"Lawful_basis_for_processing\" class=\"mw-headline\">Lawful basis for processing:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Unless a data subject has provided explicit consent to data processing for one or more purposes, personal data may not be processed unless there is at least one legal basis to do so.
