Law Glossary
Consumer privacy law is the legal area covering violations of personal information and the right to privacy in everyday life, including violations relating to technology use and finances. Consumer privacy laws and regulations protect individuals from privacy loss due to the failures and limitations of corporate customer privacy measures. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is the primary agency directing federal privacy policies and enforcing associated regulations. The FTC utilizes law enforcement, creates policy, and educates consumers as it acts to protect privacy. Legal action can be taken against organizations that violate consumer privacy rights, especially regarding sensitive information.

What Is Consumer Targeting Law?
The protection of consumers’ privacy online is addressed within the field of consumer targeting law. The Federal Trade Commission’s Behavioral Advertising Principles recommend that websites disclose data collection policies, which are used to create consumer-targeted advertising. The FTC also advises that websites allow consumers to opt out of data collection. The FTC Act can be used to charge companies that do not adhere to their stated consumer privacy policies, do not protect consumer data, or do not provide adequate notifications of privacy policy changes. The law does not require all companies to provide privacy policies, though financial firms must disclose their information-sharing policies to their customers.

What Is Financial Privacy Law?
