Privacy protection refers to the measures and regulations designed to safeguard individuals' personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Laws governing privacy protection vary by jurisdiction but typically include provisions related to data collection, consent, and the rights of individuals to access and control their information. Notable examples include the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in the United States, which establish frameworks for how organizations manage personal data. Overall, these laws aim to enhance transparency and accountability in the handling of personal information.
The law that governs the use of personal data and privacy protection in the European Union is called the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
