International Data Privacy Laws

International data privacy laws are regulations that protect individuals' personal information from misuse. These laws vary by country but generally aim to ensure that organizations handle personal data responsibly and transparently. Key principles include obtaining consent before collecting data, allowing individuals to access and correct their information, and ensuring data is kept secure. Notable examples include the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). These laws help individuals maintain control over their personal data and promote accountability among businesses that collect and process this information.
