Your Site and Data Privacy Regulations

Data privacy laws are increasingly in use around the globe. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD) are among the best known examples. These laws are designed to protect the rights of citizens and consumers in an online world. 

Though both the GDPR, CCPA and the LGPD are designed to protect visitor data, the requirements of each legislation are different. Depending on where your site is viewed, your site may be subject to one, some or all of these regulations. Use the Wix Privacy Center to help you comply with the regulation(s) relevant to your site. 

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) aims to protect the fundamental right to privacy and the protection of the personal data of European Union (EU) citizens. This regulation affects any entity (including websites) that processes EU citizens' personal data. Whether or not you, or your business, is located in the EU; if you have EU site-visitors or, if your marketing campaigns target EU citizens, this affects you.

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) aims to protect the consumer rights of California residents. The act serves to encourage stronger privacy for consumers and promote greater transparency for companies who have an online presence in the state.

The Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD) serves to protect the fundamental right to privacy and the protection of the personal data of Brazilian citizens. This regulation affects any entity (including websites) that processes Brazilian citizens' personal data. Whether or not you, or your business, is located in Brazil; if you have Brazilian site-visitors, this affects you.
