Everything we do in the Internet leaves digital fingerprints. Therefore, it is only logical that many web users are worried about the issue of privacy. Their worry is not without reason. Because privacy laws differ from country to country, a company is not legally obligated to ensure that the processing of personal data will comply with the laws of all countries where the persons whose data have been collected reside. For example, if a company is incorporated in an offshore country, the company may not be obliged to observe any data protection laws. However, because of the global nature of the Internet, such a company may still offer online services to persons residing in countries with strict data protection laws. Even large countries and organizations, such as the EU and the US, have different approaches in their attempts to regulate the use of personal information in the information society. The purpose of the present article is to briefly describe the data protection laws of the EU (Section 2) and the US (Section 3). Finally, a conclusion is drawn (Section 4).
