Data Privacy Regulations (e.g., GDPR)

Data privacy regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union, are laws designed to protect individuals' personal information. They require organizations to handle personal data transparently and securely, ensuring individuals have rights over their data, like accessing or deleting it. Companies must obtain explicit consent to collect and use data, and they face penalties for non-compliance. These regulations aim to enhance privacy protection, hold organizations accountable, and empower individuals in the digital age. Overall, they promote responsible data handling practices to safeguard personal privacy.
