The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) establishes strong privacy rights for EU residents. However, many countries, including the United States, Asia, and Africa, lack similar protections. This creates challenges for multinational corporations and individuals navigating fragmented global data protection frameworks. This study examines the evolution, principles, and extraterritorial effects of GDPR, comparing it with weaker regulatory frameworks globally. Using qualitative and doctrinal research and document analysis, it identifies enforcement gaps, compliance costs, and operational difficulties in cross-border data transfers. Findings emphasize the need for consistent global standards to address the digital divide and ensure fair data practices. Recommendations highlight multilateral cooperation to develop an interoperable and ethical digital ecosystem. While GDPR offers a foundational model, achieving global harmonization requires collective international commitment. The study concludes with actionable suggestions to strengthen global privacy frameworks and protect vulnerable parties in weakly regulated regions.
