GDPR and Forms: The Basics
If you collect data from EU citizens, GDPR compliance is not optional. Here is what you need to know.
What is GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive data privacy law that came into effect in May 2018.
Key Requirements for Forms
1. Consent
You must obtain explicit consent before collecting personal data. This means:
2. Data Minimization
Only collect data you actually need. Every field must have a legitimate purpose.
3. Right to Access
Users must be able to request a copy of their data at any time.
4. Right to Deletion
Users can request deletion of their data (the "right to be forgotten").
