Privacy Regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA)

Privacy regulations like GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) in Europe and CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) in California set strict rules on how organizations handle personal information. GDPR emphasizes individuals' rights to access, control, and delete their data, requiring clear consent for data collection. CCPA gives Californians the right to know what personal data is collected and sold, as well as to opt out of such sales. Both aim to protect consumer privacy, enhance transparency, and hold companies accountable for their data practices, reflecting increasing awareness of privacy rights in the digital age.
