Privacy regulation refers to laws and guidelines designed to protect individuals' personal information from misuse. These regulations ensure that organizations, such as businesses and governments, handle data responsibly and transparently. For example, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union sets strict rules on how personal data can be collected, stored, and shared. These regulations empower individuals by giving them rights over their own data, such as the right to access, correct, or delete their information. By enforcing privacy regulations, authorities aim to build trust between consumers and organizations, ensuring that personal data is treated with respect and care.
