international privacy standards

International privacy standards are guidelines that countries and organizations follow to protect individuals' personal information across borders. They aim to ensure data is collected, used, and shared responsibly, respecting privacy rights and preventing misuse. These standards promote consistent rules for data security, transparency, and individual control, fostering trust in global digital interactions. Examples include the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union and similar frameworks that help organizations handle personal data ethically and legally worldwide.
