GDPR

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). It aims primarily to give control back to citizens and residents over their personal data and to simplify the regulatory environment for international business by unifying the regulation within the EU.

The GDPR applies to any organization that processes the personal data of individuals located in the EU, regardless of whether the organization is located in the EU or not. This means that if you are an RV park owner and you collect personal data of EU citizens, you are subject to the GDPR.

The GDPR sets out a number of requirements for organizations that process personal data, including:

• Obtaining consent from individuals before collecting their personal data.

• Providing individuals with access to their personal data and the right to have it corrected or deleted.

• Limiting the collection and processing of personal data to what is necessary.

• Taking appropriate security measures to protect personal data.

• Not transferring personal data to countries outside the EU that do not have adequate data protection laws.

The GDPR also gives individuals a number of rights, including:

• The right to be informed about how their personal data is being processed.

• The right to access their personal data.

• The right to have their personal data corrected or deleted.

• The right to object to the processing of their personal data.

• The right to restrict the processing of their personal data.

• The right to data portability.

• The right to complain to a supervisory authority.

If you are an RV park owner and you are unsure whether the GDPR applies to you, or if you need help complying with the GDPR, you should consult with a lawyer or data protection expert.
