Data Privacy & Compliance (GDPR/CCPA)

Privacy laws are easier to follow when people understand what the rules are protecting: real information about real people. This course covers personal data, GDPR, CCPA, minimization, customer data handling, consent, individual rights, breach obligations, Privacy by Design, and privacy culture. The focus is practical. Learners see what they can collect, how long to keep it, when to share it, how to respond to requests, and why fast reporting matters when something goes wrong.

What you'll learn:

  • Recognize personal data, sensitive data, and behavioral data in everyday work
  • Apply GDPR, CCPA, and US privacy basics without turning every decision into a legal puzzle
  • Collect less data, use it for the stated purpose, and handle customer information with care
  • Respond to consent withdrawals, data subject requests, and breach reports before deadlines are missed
