There are privacy laws in place in countries around the world, and a number of them have a global reach. You need to be aware of the laws beyond the country where your business operates from. One of the easiest ways to comply with most of these laws is to post a Privacy Policy on your website/app. Learn more about global privacy policy requirements here: https://privacypolicies.com/blog/privacy-policy-legally-required/
