The GDPR is an important component of EU [[privacy law]] and [[human rights law]], in particular Article 8(1) of the [[Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union]]. It also governs the transfer of [[personal data]] outside the EU and EEA. The GDPR's goals are to enhance individuals' control and rights over their personal information and to simplify the regulations for [[international business]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/ST-9565-2015-INIT/en/pdf|title=Presidency of the Council: 'Compromise text.

The [[European Parliament]] and [[Council of the European Union]] adopted the GDPR on 14 April 2016, to become effective on 25 May 2018. As an [[Regulation (European Union)|EU regulation]] (instead of a [[Directive (European Union)|directive]]), GDPR is directly applicable with force of law on its own without the need of [[Transposition (law)|transposition]]. However, it also provides flexibility for individual member states to modify (derogate from) some of its provisions.
As an example of the [[Brussels effect]], the regulation became a model for many other laws around the world, including in Brazil, Japan, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Sri Lanka, and Thailand.{{Citation needed|date=September 2024}}<ref>Ryngaert, C & Taylor, M 2020, ‘The GDPR as Global Data Protection Regulation?’, ''AJIL unbound'', vol. 114, pp. 5–9.</ref> After [[Brexit|leaving the European Union]] the United Kingdom enacted its "UK GDPR", identical to the GDPR.<ref name=UKGD_1>{{cite web| title=The UK GDPR| url=https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/data-protection-and-the-eu/data-protection-and-the-eu-in-detail/the-uk-gdpr| website=[[Information Commissioner's Office]] ico.| date=28 June 2021| access-date=3 May 2024}}</ref> The [[California Consumer Privacy Act]] (CCPA), adopted on 28 June 2018, has many similarities with the GDPR.<ref>Francesca Lucarini, [https://advisera.com/eugdpracademy/blog/2020/04/13/gdpr-vs-ccpa-what-are-the-main-differences/ "The differences between the California Consumer Privacy Act and the GDPR"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200712060310/https://advisera.com/eugdpracademy/blog/2020/04/13/gdpr-vs-ccpa-what-are-the-main-differences/ |date=12 July 2020 }}, ''Adviser''</ref>
