The European Union has proposed, in a draft, new online privacy protection laws, which would update their current policies put in place 17 years ago. The new laws would allow individuals to request that certain personal data, which has been collected about them, to be erased.
In addition, companies could be subject to fines under the new code, a penalty tax as high as $1.3 million or 2% of a company’s total sales.
“The protection of personal data is a fundamental right for all Europeans ….my proposals will help build trust in online services because people will be better informed about their rights and in more control of their information”, asserts Viviane Reding the EU Justice Commissioner.
