RODO requires companies to responsibly manage the personal data of customers and employees. Violations can result in:
- Financial penalties: Up to 20 million euros or 4% of the company’s annual turnover.
- Loss of customer confidence: Failure to properly manage data can negatively affect a company’s image.
- Legal risks: Organizations may face lawsuits from customers or regulators.
