Q
What is the difference between GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy regulations?
Thanks for asking. GDPR is the European Union’s privacy law, while CCPA covers consumer privacy rights in California. Other regions have their own rules, but all aim to protect how personal data is collected, used, and shared. The main differences are in scope, rights for individuals, and reporting requirements.
Q
How should employees handle personal data to remain compliant?
Good question. The basics are: only collect data you need, keep it secure, don’t share it unless you’re authorized, and follow company policies for storage and disposal. Treat personal information with the same care you’d want for your own.
Q
What steps should I take if I suspect a data breach?
If you think data has been lost, stolen, or exposed, report it immediately through your company’s breach reporting process — usually to IT or compliance. Acting quickly is key because there are strict timelines for notifying regulators and customers.
Q
How can employees recognize phishing or social engineering risks?
Be cautious of emails or messages that create urgency, ask for personal information, or include suspicious links. Phishing attempts often look real at first glance but have small errors in addresses or wording. If something feels off, don’t click — report it.
Q
How should I dispose of documents or devices containing personal data?
Paper records with personal data should be shredded, not just tossed. Electronic devices should be wiped using approved tools before disposal or recycling. Simply deleting files usually isn’t enough to fully erase sensitive information.
