European Union’s GDPR has heightened standards for compliance with data protection legislation, especially for “sensitive personal data”. GDPR’s stringent requirements for data privacy and protection have prompted U.S. institutions to enhance their data handling practices to ensure compliance. This has led to more rigorous consent processes, stricter data security measures, and greater transparency in data usage. Additionally, U.S. regulatory bodies are increasingly aligning their guidelines with GDPR standards to facilitate international collaboration and protect participant data effectively.
