The European General Data Protection Regulation is a regulation in European Union (EU) law on data protection and privacy in the EU and the European Economic Area (EEA).

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a regulation by the European Union (EU) that became enforceable on May 25, 2018. It aims to protect the privacy and personal data of EU citizens.

The GDPR's primary goal is to serve as a unifying, comprehensive, data and privacy framework for any organization that controls or processes data from anyone in the EU. It also addresses the transfer of personal data outside the EU and EEA areas. Companies require GDPR Certification to demonstrate their compliance with the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Entities that handle the personal data of EU citizens in Kuwait include online retailers, social media platforms, financial institutions, healthcare providers, employers, and government agencies. These entities are required to comply with the GDPR, regardless of their location, as long as they offer goods or services to, or monitor the behavior of, EU citizens.

Obtaining GDPR Certification in Kuwait can demonstrate a company's commitment to data protection and privacy and can help build trust with customers, employees, and partners. It can also reduce the risk of non-compliance and the potential for penalties, as GDPR non-compliance can result in significant fines. Becoming GDPR certified can be seen as a competitive advantage and can differentiate a company from others that may not have taken the steps to become compliant.
