GDPR & CCPA Basics
GDPR (Europe) and CCPA (California) are privacy laws that set rules for how you collect, store, and use people's personal data — requiring consent, transparency, and giving individuals rights over their information. They can apply even if your business is elsewhere, based on where your visitors are.
Why do GDPR and CCPA matter to your business?
If you collect emails, run analytics, or take payments, these laws may apply to you based on where your visitors live. Getting the basics right — a privacy policy, consent where needed, and responsible data handling — protects you from penalties and earns trust. This is general information, not legal advice.
At Nabee, sites are built to support these basics — consent handling, clear privacy disclosure, and minimal data collection — so compliance is easier to reach. For your specific obligations, a lawyer should confirm the details.
A concrete example
A site collecting signups and running analytics needs consent handling and a clear privacy policy. Building those in from the start is far simpler than retrofitting them after a complaint.
