³Ô¹ÏÍ·Ìõ

³Ô¹ÏÍ·Ìõ aligns with major global privacy laws, including:

• General Data Protection Regulation (European Union) – Governs how organizations collect, use, store, and protect personal data of individuals.
• Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (Brazil) – Regulates how public and private organizations collect, process, and store personal data, aiming to protect individual privacy rights.
• Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (Canada) – Governs how private-sector organizations collect, use, or disclose personal information during commercial activities.
• Personal Data Protection Act (Asia-Pacific regions) – A patchwork of distinct national laws, rather than a single unified regulation, designed to govern the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data by organizations. Key examples include Singapore’s PDPA, Thailand's PDPA, Malaysia’s PDPA, and China’s Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL).
• State Privacy Rights (California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Virginia) – Legally mandated protections granted to residents regarding their personal data, often referred to as consumer privacy rights or data protection rights. These laws allow individuals to access, correct, delete, and stop the sale or sharing of their personal data.
