Suggested Answer: D

Data protection and privacy are complementary, but not the same thing.

A very repeated phrase is: ''It is possible to have security without privacy, but it is not possible to have privacy without security''.

Privacy is a right that must be protected, and Data Protection are the measures that will be used to achieve this protection.

So, the GDPR is more strict and binding compared to the Directive.

The main difference seems to be the level of flexibility for EU member states. Directive 95/46/EC was more rigid, while the GDPR allows for some tailoring by individual countries. Interesting how regulations evolve over time.

Yes, that's correct. Directive 95/46 / EC only offers guidance for Member States.

I think the main difference is that the GDPR has the force of law, right?
