Ignorance of the law or regulations is never an excuse and cannot prevent an organization from being penalized. Hence, ensuring data privacy is critical, especially concerning the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) or EU GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).
GDPR, for example, is the world’s strictest data protection regulation and can be applied to organizations, including US businesses, nonprofits, and universities that do not have offices in EU locations or employees in the EU. The United States does not have a single regulatory body like the GDPR in the European Union. However, 51 US-based tech CEOs ranging from Amazon, AT&T, Dell, IBM, SAP, Salesforce, Visa, Mastercard, and JP Morgan Chase have petitioned Congress to enact a Federal Privacy Law. Different states have different regulations in force. Likely, a GDPR-like law will soon become a reality in the US.
