Description: Non-exempt data refers to personal data that is subject to privacy and data protection regulations. This means that its handling, storage, and processing must comply with specific regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe or the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in the United States. This data can include identifiable information such as names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and any other data that can be linked to a specific person. The relevance of non-exempt data lies in the growing concern for privacy in the digital age, where the collection and use of personal data are common across various industries. Organizations must be transparent about how they use this data and ensure that adequate measures are implemented to protect individuals’ information. Failure to comply with regulations can result in significant penalties and damage to the organization’s reputation, highlighting the importance of handling non-exempt data responsibly and ethically.
