Explanation
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy in the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). It also addresses the transfer of personal data outside of these areas. The goal of the regulation is to give control to individuals over their personal data, and to simplify the regulatory environment for international business by unifying the regulation within the EU. Non-compliance with GDPR not only occurs in the event of a major incident, such as a data breach leading to a significant risk to personal data, but it can also be as simple as not having data protection policies in place, or failing to obtain appropriate consent where needed. Therefore, making the statement false.
