Ensuring Compliance with EU GDPR Regulations Using AI-Driven Tools for Data Processing and Consent Management

Business Challenge:
A multinational e-commerce company was facing challenges in ensuring that its customer data processing activities were fully compliant with the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The company handled vast amounts of customer data across multiple platforms, including user registration, transactions, and marketing activities.
