The General Data Protection Regulation is an EU law that protects personal data and privacy. It gives individuals rights over their data, like access and the right to be forgotten, and sets rules for how online service providers – including Fediverse services – can use it. Services must ensure data is protected, used transparently, and only for the reason it was collected. It applies to all servers visible in the EU, regardless of where they are based, aiming to give people more control over their personal information.
