EU lawmakers approve consumer data usage rules for Big Tech and other companies

Written by on July 5, 2023

In an important step toward protecting privacy and consumer rights, European Union (EU) lawmakers have passed new rules on the use of consumer data for big tech and other companies. These regulations represent a significant milestone in efforts to address privacy concerns in the digital age and establish a robust framework for the protection of personal data. In this article, we’ll explore the implications of these new rules and their impact on the business landscape.

The new rules approved by EU lawmakers aim to address bulk data collection practices and the indiscriminate use of consumers’ personal information by big tech companies and other companies. Until now, it has been common for companies to collect and use user data without their clear consent or without providing them with adequate options of control over their personal information. However, these new regulations mark a major shift towards empowering consumers and placing stricter limits on how companies can use their data.

One of the fundamental features of these new rules is the requirement of explicit consent from users for the collection and use of their personal data. This means that companies will need to obtain informed consent from consumers before processing any information that could directly or indirectly identify them. In addition, users will have greater control over their data, with the right to access, correct or delete their personal information stored by companies.

The regulations also call for a higher level of transparency from companies when it comes to the use of consumer data. Companies must provide clear and understandable information on how personal data is collected, processed and used, as well as on any transfer of information to third parties. In addition, companies will be required to implement adequate security measures to protect data and to notify competent authorities and users in case of security breaches.

In order to guarantee compliance with these new rules, significant sanctions are established for companies that do not comply with data protection regulations. Fines can be as much as 4% of a company’s annual global turnover, underlining the importance attached to privacy protection and responsibility in the treatment of consumers’ personal data.

These new rules will have a significant impact on the business landscape, especially for big tech companies that rely on the collection and use of consumer data for their business models. While these companies will have to adjust their practices to comply with regulations, new opportunities and business models focused on privacy and data protection are also expected to emerge.

Furthermore, these regulations apply not only to EU companies, but also to those that process data from European users, regardless of their geographical location. This means that international companies will also have to adapt to these rules if they want to operate in the European market.

The approval of these new rules on the use of consumer data by EU legislators is a crucial step in protecting the privacy and rights of consumers in the digital age. These regulations establish a robust framework to ensure explicit consent, user control, and transparency in the use of personal data. By putting an end to the “hunting” of data, these rules provide a necessary balance between technological innovation and the protection of privacy. Now, big tech companies and other companies will have to adjust their practices to comply with these regulations and ensure greater responsibility in the treatment of consumer data.
