Just curious.
Well, of course the EU has the GDPR and California has the CCPA.
My country, Türkiye, has the KVKK. (The Turkish Data Protection Law/Authority)

India recently introduced Digital Personal Data Protection Act. But, unlike what it sounds, it does more harm than good to the privacy of citizens.

Some of the most contentious issues include the wide-ranging exemptions to the government and its agencies, the dilution of powers of the data protection board, and amendment of the Right to Information Act, that rights groups say will significantly weaken the law.
