A council workshop asks for the GDPR’s main goals in one breath. Which statement captures the twin aims?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
The GDPR wants two things at once: real protection for people and a single market where personal data can still move. It is not “lock everything in a vault” or “ship data with no rules.” Twin aims — dignity and free flow.
Full Explanation
Article 1 of the GDPR sets out the Regulation’s subject matter and objectives: protecting fundamental rights and freedoms of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data, and ensuring the free movement of personal data within the Union. Understanding that dual purpose prevents one-sided readings that treat the GDPR as either a pure trade instrument or a pure data-localisation mandate.
