Overview
Privacy regulations are expanding rapidly across the globe. Organizations that operate internationally or serve customers in multiple jurisdictions face an increasingly complex web of compliance obligations. Apidly is built to help businesses navigate this landscape by providing tools and frameworks that address the requirements of major privacy laws worldwide.
This article provides a comprehensive overview of the privacy regulations that Apidly supports, organized by region.
European Union and European Economic Area
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
The GDPR is the cornerstone of EU data protection law, applying to any organization that processes personal data of individuals in the EU. Apidly provides full support for GDPR compliance, including consent management, data subject request handling, data processing agreements, cross-border transfer assessments, and Data Protection Impact Assessments.
ePrivacy Directive (EU Cookie Law)
The ePrivacy Directive regulates the use of cookies and similar tracking technologies. Apidly supports cookie scanning, classification, consent management, and compliance monitoring across all EU member states with their varying national implementations.
Switzerland
Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (revFADP)
The revised Swiss FADP, effective September 2023, aligns closely with GDPR while maintaining Swiss-specific requirements. Apidly covers the revFADP's unique provisions including its personal criminal liability model, FDPIC notification requirements, and cross-border transfer rules referencing the Federal Council's adequacy list.
Canada
PIPEDA
The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act is Canada's federal privacy law. Apidly supports compliance with PIPEDA's ten fair information principles, breach notification requirements, and individual access rights.
Quebec's Law 25 (Bill 64)
Quebec's modernized privacy framework includes strict consent requirements, mandatory privacy impact assessments, and provisions for automated decision-making transparency. Apidly provides specific tools for Law 25 compliance including PIA templates and CAI notification workflows.
United States
The United States does not have a single federal comprehensive privacy law, but a growing number of state-level laws create a patchwork of obligations. Apidly covers the following:
California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA)
California's privacy laws grant consumers broad rights over their personal information, including the right to know, delete, correct, and opt out of the sale or sharing of their data. Apidly supports compliance with both the original CCPA and the expanded CPRA requirements enforced by the California Privacy Protection Agency.
California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA)
CalOPPA requires operators of commercial websites and online services that collect personal information from California residents to post a conspicuous privacy policy. Apidly helps generate compliant privacy policies and monitors your site for ongoing compliance.
Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA)
The VCDPA grants Virginia residents rights to access, correct, delete, and port their personal data and requires organizations to conduct data protection assessments. Apidly provides full VCDPA compliance support.
Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA)
Effective July 2024, the TDPSA applies to organizations operating in Texas or serving Texas residents. Apidly supports compliance with its consent requirements, individual rights provisions, and data protection assessment obligations.
Florida Digital Bill of Rights (FDBR)
Florida's privacy law applies to larger organizations and includes specific provisions around children's data and surveillance technology. Apidly helps businesses determine applicability and meet FDBR obligations.
Utah Consumer Privacy Act (UCPA)
The UCPA takes a business-friendly approach with an opt-out model for targeted advertising and the sale of personal data. Apidly supports compliance with UCPA's requirements including its 45-day response window for consumer requests.
Additional State Laws
Apidly also tracks and supports compliance with privacy laws enacted in Colorado, Connecticut, Oregon, Montana, Iowa, Indiana, Tennessee, and other states as their laws take effect.
Africa
South Africa's POPIA
The Protection of Personal Information Act establishes eight conditions for lawful processing and is enforced by the Information Regulator. Apidly provides condition-by-condition compliance mapping, data subject request management, and cross-border transfer assessments under POPIA.
Asia-Pacific
Apidly is actively expanding support for privacy laws in the Asia-Pacific region, including Australia's Privacy Act, Japan's Act on Protection of Personal Information (APPI), South Korea's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), and Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA).
