the right to have their personal data returned to them in an electronic format by the data controller. They may then pass this data onto another controller. This will enable individuals to move to alternative service providers more easily

A person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

A term often used to refer to a supervisory authority, which is an independent public authority responsible for monitoring the application of the General Data Protection Regulation in order to protect the fundamental rights and freedoms of natural persons in relation to processing and to facilitate the free flow of personal data within the European Union.

The implementation of appropriate technical and organisational measures for ensuring that, by default, only personal data which are necessary for each specific purpose of the processing are processed. That obligation applies to the amount of personal data collected, the extent of their processing, the period of their storage and their accessibility. In particular, such measures shall ensure that by default personal data are not made accessible without the individual's intervention to an indefinite number of natural persons. Such organisational measures could consist, inter alia, of minimising the processing of personal data, pseudonymising personal data as soon as possible, transparency with regard to the functions and processing of personal data, and enabling the data subject to monitor the data processing.

data security and privacy compliance must be built into new organisational and technical systems during their development, not added in later. Only data that is determined as

The controller shall carry out an assessment of the impact of the envisaged processing operations on the protection of personal data when a type of processing is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons. This assessment has to be done prior to the processing and, in particular if using new technologies, has to take into account the nature, scope, context and purposes of the processing.

A subfield of AI and machine learning that uses artficial neural networks.  Deep learning is especially useful in fields where raw data needs to be processed, like image recognition, natural language processing and speech recognition.

A denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) is a cyber-attack in which the perpetrator seeks to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users by temporarily or indefinitely disrupting services of a host connected to a network.
