Policy&GDPR Quiz

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive data privacy regulation that governs the processing and handling of personal data of individuals within the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). Implemented on May 25, 2018, GDPR also applies to organizations outside the EU/EEA that offer goods or services to individuals within these regions or monitor their behavior. GDPR aims to protect the privacy rights of individuals and ensure that their personal data is collected, stored, and processed securely and responsibly. It grants individuals greater control over their data and imposes strict obligations on organizations to follow specific principles when handling personal data.

Strengthening data privacy rights: GDPR empowers individuals with several rights, including the right to access, rectify, and erase their data, as well as the right to object to or restrict data processing. These rights provide individuals with more control over how their personal data is used and shared.

Enhancing transparency: GDPR requires organizations to be transparent about their data processing activities. They must provide clear and concise information about how they collect, use, store, and share personal data. This increased transparency fosters trust between individuals and organizations.

Ensuring accountability: GDPR mandates that organizations implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data. It also requires them to demonstrate compliance with the regulation through documentation, staff training, and appointment of a Data Protection Officer (DPO) when necessary.

Harmonizing data protection laws: GDPR unifies data protection laws across the EU/EEA, making it easier for organizations to comply with a single set of rules. This harmonization simplifies the regulatory environment for businesses operating in multiple EU/EEA countries and promotes cross-border data flows.

Imposing significant penalties: Non-compliance with GDPR can result in hefty fines, with penalties reaching up to 4% of an organization’s annual global turnover or €20 million (whichever is higher). These substantial penalties underscore the importance of data protection and motivate organizations to prioritize privacy and security.

A trademark must be a unique symbol used exclusively by a brand owner. You cannot use Free or Pro content from Canva’s media library in a trademark, except for fonts, basic shapes, and lines. Other Canva users have access to the same Free or Pro content, so you cannot claim exclusive rights if you use it in branded materials, including logos. To design a unique logo for a trademark in Canva, you can: Use any of Canva’s fonts Use basic shapes and lines Upload your own graphics Logo templates are suitable for small or personal projects where exclusive rights are not required. They can also serve as inspiration for your own unique design.

The copyright ownership of a design made in Canva depends on its composition. If you create an original design, you generally hold the copyright. However, if you use third-party content (e.g., stock media from Canva’s library), your ownership is subject to the rights of those third parties. Canva provides non-exclusive licenses for using various elements in your designs, including photos, graphics, videos, fonts, and music. The use of Pro Content in online or electronic publications, such as web pages, blogs, e-books, and videos, is limited to a maximum of 480,000 total pixels (e.g., 600px x 800px) per content file where un-edited. The pixel limit does not apply if the use is: On a website published via the dedicated Canva Website publish endpoint In a Canva-hosted design embedded on a third-party website

Please note that all content (photos, graphics, illustrations, stickers, fonts, videos) available in Canva is licensed under Canva’s Content License Agreement. In order to comply with Canva’s Content License Agreement, ensure that you incorporate stock media into a design by adding elements, photos, texts, videos, or backgrounds. By doing so, you are granted the following freedoms: For using Pro content without modifications on your web pages, blogs, or ebooks, you must adhere to a maximum pixel limit of 480,000px. However, if you wish to avoid this restriction, you can create your design by combining various Canva content. This means that if you include more than one image in a design, it is not necessary to verify the pixel count for each design component. There is no specific minimum percentage required to consider a design as altered. As long as you use different Canva design elements in combination and produce a unique result, your design will be compliant. Keep in mind that there should be a noticeable change from the original stock media, but the use of filters, color changes, resizing, or cropping an element does not qualify as “altering” the element.
