Data Privacy
Most of the business thrive on data and as part of their operations they collect or receive, knowingly or unknowingly, personally identifiable data about individuals. Most of the countries have enacted data privacy laws in some form or the other to regulate how such data can be collected, the use of such data, how data subjects are to be informed, how data can be transferred, rights that a data subject has in relation to such data and what control a data subject has over data. Non-compliance with such laws may lead to fines, legal proceedings, blacklisting of businesses in certain jurisdictions and most importantly loss of reputation and goodwill due to lack of trust of the clients. Traversing through such laws can be daunting, but all businesses that deal with data should be familiar and compliant with the data privacy laws that affect their businesses. Thus, establishment of robust legal framework for data privacy and protection becomes pertinent.

What is the common mistake that companies make while adopting a privacy policy?
