👉 Statutory computing refers to the application of legal rules and regulations governing the use, storage, processing, and transmission of data and information by organizations, often mandated by national or regional laws. These statutes typically outline the responsibilities of data controllers (entities that determine the purposes and means of processing personal data) and data subjects (individuals whose data is processed), ensuring the protection of privacy, security, and rights. Key aspects include requirements for obtaining consent, implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard data, conducting data protection impact assessments, maintaining records of processing activities, and providing individuals with rights such as access, rectification, and erasure of their data. Statutory computing aims to balance the benefits of data-driven innovation with the need to protect individuals' privacy and prevent misuse of their personal information.
