Privacy and Data Protection Laws In this video, we will understand why data privacy is important

00:08.400 --> 00:15.200
and how personal data can be at risk online. Identify key rights under major data protection laws

00:15.200 --> 00:23.840
like GDPR and CCPA. Every day we contact someone, work, or learn online, or post something to the

00:23.840 --> 00:29.680
internet. But do you know who's protecting your data behind the scenes? In this video,

00:29.680 --> 00:35.200
we'll explore the laws that help keep us safe in the digital age. In this digital world,

00:35.200 --> 00:41.120
if your data isn't protected, it can fall into the hands of hackers. They might track your location

00:41.120 --> 00:46.880
for misuse or sell your personal information without you even knowing. That's why data privacy

00:46.880 --> 00:53.680
matters. It keeps you safe and in control. To protect peoples, many countries have created data

00:53.680 --> 01:02.320
privacy laws like General Data Protection Act, GDPR. GDPR is a European law that protects your

01:02.320 --> 01:12.640
personal data, like your name, location, and what you do online. GDPR gives you the right to know

01:13.200 --> 01:20.800
exactly what data companies collect about you. You can also ask companies to delete your data

01:20.880 --> 01:28.880
or fix it if it's wrong. And if a company breaks the rules, they can get hit with serious fines.

01:33.680 --> 01:40.240
Now understand California Consumer Privacy Act. The CCPA gives Californians control over their

01:40.240 --> 01:47.280
personal data. It's like a privacy shield for your online life. With CCPA, you can see what

01:47.280 --> 01:52.560
companies are collecting from your system and you can opt out of having your data sold to other

01:52.560 --> 02:04.000
companies. You also have the right to delete your data from their database.
