Privacy, data protection and security laws are rapidly evolving in the United States and across the world. In the US, in addition to federally enacted legislation, there are hundreds of state-specific security and privacy laws. In the European Union, with the adoption of GDPR, there is a structured and comprehensive approach. Other countries have mimicked the Europe’s GDPR in their privacy approach. Brazil’s Lei Geral de Proteçao de Dados (LGPD) was modeled directly after GDPR and is nearly identical in terms of scope and applicability, with less harsh financial penalties for non-compliance. Australia or South Korea's Personal Information Protection Act, which includes many GDPR-like provisions such as requirements for gaining consent, the scope of applicable data, appointment of a Chief Privacy Officer, and limitation and justification of data retention periods.
