Privacy laws refer to regulations that govern the collection, storage, and use of personal information about individuals by public and private organizations. Many countries strictly regulate how businesses and government agencies collect and use personal data. For example, in the United States the Electronic Communications Privacy Act and Computer Fraud and Abuse Act prohibit intercepting communications, stealing data, or hacking systems, while Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act regulates how personal data is used in commercial activities.
