Global Privacy Regulations

Global privacy regulations are laws designed to protect individuals' personal information from misuse. They establish how organizations must collect, store, and share data. Key examples include the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which offers strong rights to individuals, and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), which focuses on consumer rights in the U.S. These regulations require transparency from companies about data practices and provide individuals with rights such as access to their data and the ability to request its deletion, promoting greater accountability and trust in how personal data is handled globally.
