Compliance

Privacy compliance is the work of making a website or product meet data protection laws such as the EU GDPR, California’s CCPA and India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. In practice it means lawful consent for cookies and tracking, honouring user rights such as access and deletion, and protecting sensitive personal data. The rules differ by region, but all of them reward collecting less and documenting what you do collect.
