Privacy & Data Protection Laws by Country

46 jurisdictions, each with the statute, the citation, the effective date, and — the part that usually decides whether it reaches you — the specific extraterritorial test it applies to a business with no local office. Most regimes ask whether you have an established presence, actively offer goods or services to residents, or monitor their behavior; a meaningful minority use an older equipment-based or nationality-based test instead, and those are flagged where they differ. Run the questionnaire to narrow this to your own business.
