The data for example on your website form , email marketing , ticket system and you name it. To properly protect data, Europe imposes obligations on companies that collect and process data and gives rights to individuals who share their personal data with these companies. Therefore, SMEs must have control over how and to whom their data is evrved.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the GDPR NEEDED for my business?<\/h2>\n\n<p>The GDPR or AVG is official European legislation that applies to all organizations that collect and process data of European citizens. So even if you have a one-man business or association.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is included in personal data?<br\/><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>Any information by which a natural person can be identified.
