The best way to ensure an effective data privacy policy is implemented is to align regulatory

requirements with business needs, because this will help achieve compliance while also supporting

the organization’s objectives, values, and strategies. A data privacy policy should reflect the legal

obligations and expectations of the organization, as well as the needs and p

of its

stakeholders, such as customers, employees, partners, and regulators. A data privacy policy should

also be flexible and adaptable to changing circumstances and environments12.
