Consumer Privacy Laws

Consumer privacy laws are regulations designed to protect individuals' personal information from misuse by companies and organizations. These laws govern how businesses collect, use, store, and share data about consumers, ensuring transparency and giving people rights over their information. For example, consumers may have the right to know what data is collected, to access it, and to request its deletion. Key frameworks include the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in the U.S. These laws aim to enhance consumer trust and control over personal data in an increasingly digital world.
