Online Privacy Laws

Online privacy laws are regulations designed to protect individuals' personal information when they use the internet. These laws require websites and companies to be transparent about how they collect, use, and share personal data. They often include provisions for obtaining user consent, allowing individuals to access their data, and ensuring data security. Prominent examples include the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in the U.S. These laws aim to empower users with control over their personal data and hold companies accountable for misuse.
