In the digital age, where personal data is constantly collected, stored, and processed, data privacy and compliance have become paramount. Data privacy lawyers play a crucial role in ensuring organizations adhere to complex and evolving regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
GDPR, implemented in the European Union, and CCPA, enacted in California, establish comprehensive frameworks for protecting individuals’ personal data. These regulations grant individuals rights to access, rectify, and erase their personal data, and impose strict obligations on organizations to safeguard data, prevent breaches, and obtain consent for data processing.
