Amazon Web Services, a leading cloud provider , allows you to manage data privacy controls, how it is used, and determine who has access to it and how it is encrypted.
With the help of AWS , you can meet key EU data privacy security and compliance requirements, such as handling data subject requests, managing personal data breach notifications, performing data protection impact assessments, and setting up technical and organizational measures in relation to the processing of your data.
