A European Commission Statement says that Data Protection Authorities (DPAs) across Europe received 95,180 complaints regarding the mishandling of personal data. Companies reported a record number of 41,502 data breaches since the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was enacted on 25 May 2018. European Commission’s statistics say that the most common types of GDPR complaints were related to telemarketing, promotional e-mails, and to video surveillance/CCTV, which were found to violate multiple provisions. Companies which closely follow the requirements of the GDPR experience benefits such as lower frequency and effect of data breaches.
