Personal data rules that follow EU residents wherever their data goes.
The General Data Protection Regulation governs processing of personal data of people in the EU. It requires a lawful basis, data minimization, purpose limitation, and honoring rights including access and erasure. Fines reach 4% of global turnover. There is no certification of general compliance, though Art. 42 certifications exist for specific processing.
These controls exist because the platform needs them to run safely. The crosswalk reads their signed evidence against GDPR. Where there is no evidence, the report says gap.
