Data Protection Agencies

Data Protection Agencies are government or independent organizations responsible for ensuring that organizations handle personal data responsibly. They enforce laws that safeguard individuals’ privacy, regulate how companies collect, store, and use data, and investigate data breaches or misuse. These agencies also provide guidance and support to help organizations comply with data protection rules, fostering trust between individuals and organizations. Their goal is to balance the benefits of data use with the rights of individuals to privacy and control over their personal information.
