Are the privacy laws same for different countries and cultures?
Different countries operate in different ways, such as United Kingdom would have a different set of rules for its data storage compared to United States and the Asian Countries. For example, the European Union has its own set of rules and regulations compared to other countries. The European Union tends to have stricter regulations, where as United States are more liberal on their standards of storing data about people (Baase, 2003). United States has laws on some areas such as medical, video rental and more, however not in all personal data (Baase, 2003).
