HIPAA and Privacy Laws refer to regulations designed to protect sensitive personal and health-related information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) specifically governs how healthcare providers, insurers, and related entities handle protected health information (PHI) in the United States. Privacy laws more broadly include global regulations such as GDPR that ensure individuals have control over their personal data. These laws establish standards for data security, consent, and confidentiality. They require organizations to implement safeguards to prevent data breaches and misuse. Compliance helps build trust, ensure legal accountability, and protect user privacy. These regulations are essential in healthcare, finance, and digital services handling sensitive data.
