Data Protection and Privacy Law

Data Protection and Privacy Law in the context of e-commerce governs how businesses collect, use, store, and share personal information from customers. It ensures that individuals have control over their personal data, requiring companies to be transparent about their practices and seek consent before using this information. Key regulations, like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union, set standards for data handling, emphasizing rights such as access to data, correction, and deletion. Ultimately, these laws aim to protect consumer privacy and build trust in online transactions.
