Principles of Lawful Processing

Organizations handling personal information must follow principles outlined in Georgian data protection law. These include processing data for legitimate purposes, using it fairly, and collecting only what is necessary. Understanding these principles helps businesses structure compliant data practices. This reduces risk and protects individual privacy.

Internal Policies & Documentation

Companies must maintain clear policies explaining how data is collected, stored, and shared. These documents ensure employees understand their responsibilities under data protection law. Privacy notices and internal guidelines create consistency across the organization. Proper documentation also prepares businesses for potential audits.

Rights of Data Subjects

Individuals have rights to access, update, or erase their personal data. Companies must respond to these requests within legally defined timeframes under data protection law. Awareness of these rights helps organizations design effective response procedures. Respecting these rights strengthens trust and legal compliance.

Breach Response & International Transfers

Data breaches must be handled promptly to minimize harm. Organizations must investigate incidents and communicate transparently when required by data protection law. International data transfers also require appropriate safeguards. Understanding these obligations helps companies avoid penalties and protect users.
