Description: The ‘Obligated Parties’ refer to those entities that, by legal mandate, must comply with data protection regulations. This includes both public and private organizations that handle personal information of individuals. The importance of these parties lies in their responsibility to ensure the privacy and security of the data they process, as well as their obligation to inform users about how their data is used. ‘Obligated Parties’ must implement adequate measures to protect information, which include adopting security policies, conducting audits, and training staff in data protection matters. Furthermore, these entities must be transparent in their data handling practices, allowing users to exercise their rights, such as access, rectification, and deletion of their personal information. In an increasingly digital world, compliance with these regulations is crucial to fostering consumer trust and protecting individuals’ fundamental rights regarding their personal information.
