Strategies for Limiting the negative Effects of Big Data

There have been many laws and regulations which have been created and updated which help prevent to limit the negative effects of Big data Such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) created by the European union to help protect the data of European citizens + united kingdom citizens, It was created in 2016 and fully adopted in 2018.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a set of laws which helps governments to penalise and fine company's who mis-use personal data or who are not transparent what they use it for. If a company does not comply to the GDPR laws they can be find up to £17.4 million pounds or 4% of the company's global annual turnover

GDPR effects Every citizen Under the GDPR's reach by ensuring that company's follow the legislation requirements by making their privacy policy's clear for the users. Under the GDPR users can request a company the information which their holding about the user. Company's have a strict 30 day deadline which the information should then be sent to the user who requested it, Companies are also not allowed to charge the User to see their requested information under the GDPR regulations

After the UK left the European union the Uk had created the Data Protection act 2018  which uses a lot of the same frame work which was used in the EU's GDPR So company's which break the GDPR framework would also break the UK Data Protection Act 2018 guidelines if the company operates within the united kingdom.
