There are a number of laws and regulations around the world that serve to protect the information and data that is stored in information technology systems about individuals. Some example regulations include the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which applies to personal data that is in effect within the European Union (EU), and Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).
Both GDPR and PIPEDA seek to protect the privacy rights that are granted to individuals, and this is followed by any organization that sells, markets, or processes individuals' personal data and information, regardless of which nation the organization is based in.
To achieve compliance, organizations must be able to manage data privacy records so that they can track their customers' and users' data privacy consent.
