online consumer protection

Online consumer protection involves laws and policies that safeguard individuals when they shop or conduct transactions on the internet. It ensures fair treatment by preventing fraud, false advertising, and unauthorized charges. It also provides rights to access clear product information, privacy protections, and mechanisms to resolve disputes. These measures aim to build trust, promote safe online commerce, and empower consumers to make informed decisions, similar to protections they have in traditional shopping, but adapted to the digital environment.
