Privacy regulations are laws and rules established by governments or international bodies that dictate how organizations must handle individuals' personal information to protect their privacy rights. These regulations often specify requirements for data collection, storage, processing, and sharing.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Privacy Regulation encompasses legislative and statutory frameworks, such as the EU's GDPR, California's CCPA, and the US's HIPAA, designed to govern the collection, processing, storage, and sharing of personally identifiable information (PII) by entities, ensuring data subject rights and preventing privacy infringements through mandated security and transparency measures.
BACKGROUND

It focuses on protecting computer software, systems, and networks from threats that can lead to unauthorized information disclosure, theft, or damage to hardware, software, or data, as well as to the disruption or misdirection of the services they provide.
