Law Glossary
Consumer privacy law is the legal area covering violations of personal information and the right to privacy in everyday life, including violations relating to technology use and finances. Consumer privacy laws and regulations protect individuals from privacy loss due to the failures and limitations of corporate customer privacy measures. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is the primary agency directing federal privacy policies and enforcing associated regulations. The FTC utilizes law enforcement, creates policy, and educates consumers as it acts to protect privacy. Legal action can be taken against organizations that violate consumer privacy rights, especially regarding sensitive information.
