Abstract
The chapter explores the critical aspects of data privacy and compliance within the rapidly expanding field of the internet of things (IoT). As IoT devices proliferate across consumer, industrial, and healthcare sectors, they bring with them significant challenges related to data security, privacy, and regulatory compliance. The integration of these devices into daily life raises substantial concerns about personal privacy, data breaches, and the ethical use of collected data. This discussion delves into the mechanisms IoT uses to collect, process, and store data; the associated privacy risks; and the comprehensive strategies necessary to mitigate these risks while ensuring compliance with global data protection regulations.
