The company must inform the customers about the specific purposes for which their data will be used, obtain their explicit consent, and provide them with the option to opt-out of such data sharing. Additionally, the company must ensure the security and confidentiality of the data and allow customers to access, correct, or delete their personal information upon request. Additional information: Consumer protection is a fundamental aspect of data sharing in the European Union. It is based on the principles outlined in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other relevant legislation. The principle emphasizes the importance of transparency, consent, purpose limitation, data minimization, accuracy, storage limitation, integrity, and confidentiality in protecting the rights of individuals. It also highlights the need for organizations to implement appropriate security measures and provide individuals with mechanisms to exercise their rights, such as the right to access, rectify, and erase their personal data.
