  1. The GDPR lays down rules relating to the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and the free movement of personal data. GDPR provides citizens of the EU with greater control over their personal data and assures that their information is being securely protected across Europe, regardless of whether the data processing takes place in the EU or not, as mentioned under Article 3 of GDPR.

For collecting and storing personal data, GDPR requires that a company prove that consent has been granted by a person.
  3. Transfers of personal data to the country in question will be assimilated to intra-EU transmissions of data and the United States of America remains recognized by the European Commission. EU data protection rules apply to the European Economic Area (EEA), which includes all EU countries and non-EU countries. The framework "EU-US Privacy Shield" protects the fundamental rights of anyone in the EU whose personal data is transferred to the United States for commercial purposes.

The EU-U.S. Privacy Shield is based on a system of self-certification by which U.S. organisations commit to a set of privacy principles (that is, the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework Principles). It applies to both controllers and processors (agents), with the specificity that processors must be contractually bound to act only on instructions from the EU controller and assist the latter in responding to individuals exercising their rights under the principles. The protection afforded to personal data by the Privacy Shield applies to any EU data subject whose personal data has been transferred from the Union to organisations in the U.S. that have self-certified their adherence to the Principles with the Department of Commerce.
