How can the principles of the General Data Protection Regulation, as discussed in Permanent Record, be applied in today's business environment?

The principles of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) can be applied in today's business environment in several ways. Firstly, businesses can ensure they are transparent about how they collect, use, and store personal data. This includes providing clear privacy policies and obtaining explicit consent from individuals before processing their data. Secondly, businesses can implement data minimization practices, meaning they only collect and retain the necessary amount of personal data for their operations. Thirdly, businesses can prioritize data security by using secure encryption methods and regularly testing their security systems. Lastly, businesses should have procedures in place to respond to data breaches promptly and notify affected individuals.

The USA Freedom Act was passed to prohibit the bulk collection of American's phone records explicitly. Apple and Google responded by adopting secure encryption on their devices. Websites moved from the insecure HTTP protocol to the encrypted HTTPS standard. The European Union passed the General Data Protection Regulation that provides whistleblower and data privacy protections.
