Information regulation refers to the rules and guidelines that govern how information is collected, stored, shared, and used. This includes laws that protect personal data, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union, which ensures individuals have control over their personal information. These regulations aim to balance the need for data use in various sectors, like business and healthcare, with the rights of individuals to privacy and security. Compliance with information regulation is essential for organizations to avoid legal penalties and maintain public trust in their data handling practices.
