Privacy laws are regulations designed to protect individuals' personal information from being misused or disclosed without their consent. These laws ensure that organizations, such as businesses and government agencies, handle personal data responsibly. For example, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union sets strict guidelines on how companies can collect, store, and use personal data. In addition to protecting personal information, privacy laws also give individuals rights over their data. People can request access to their information, ask for corrections, or even demand deletion in certain situations. This empowers individuals to control their own data and helps build trust between them and organizations that handle their information.
