Privacy legislation refers to laws and regulations designed to protect individuals' personal information from misuse and unauthorized access. 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 personal data should be collected, stored, and shared. Such legislation empowers individuals by giving them rights over their own data, including the right to access, correct, or delete their information. As technology evolves, privacy legislation continues to adapt, addressing new challenges posed by digital platforms and social media to safeguard personal privacy.
