	A [[Probable year::2018]] Deloitte survey has revealed that the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is having a positive international impact on the perception of data collection and storage even just six months after its implementation (Deloitte, [[Probable year::2018]], 4). The GDPR has had a worldwide effect on privacy laws as it requires all companies which collect data on EU citizens to comply with the law, regardless of the location of their headquarters (Wolford, n.d.). At the most basic level, respondents felt companies have begun to care more about data protection (Deloitte, [[Probable year::2018]], 6). Additionally, over 3 out of 4 respondents were aware of their rights under this law and some had already used this knowledge to alter what data companies were collecting about them (Deloitte, [[Probable year::2018]], 13, 14, 19). On the other hand, 19% of those polled felt that organizations did not care about privacy (Deloitte, [[Probable year::2018]], 6) and only 51% felt the law had put them in control of the personal data that companies have access to (Deloitte, [[Probable year::2018]], 18).

	In a [[Probable year::2019]] European Union (including North Macedonia) study conducted a year after the implementation of the GDPR, the European Commission concurred with Deloitte in that the GDPR had made people more aware of their rights (Vandystadt & Voin, [[Probable year::2019]]) . However, only 20% of these respondents knew which authority was responsible for protecting privacy rights (Vandystadt & Voin, [[Probable year::2019]]; Awareness of the general data protection regulation, [[Probable year::2019]]) .

	United States		United States

	In [[Probable year::2002]], a Harris Poll found that 63% of respondents found the privacy legislation in place to be inadequate (EPIC, [[Probable year::2021]]) . In [[Probable year::2019]], 75% of those surveyed felt the government should regulate companies and their use of personal data (Auxier, [[Probable year::2020]]) . In [[Probable year::2020]], 79% of the population wanted national privacy legislation enacted (Auxier, [[Probable year::2020]]) . It is clear that over time, Americans have become more concerned about the use of their personal data, especially in the private sector (Auxier et al., [[Probable year::2019]]; Auxier, [[Probable year::2020]]) . Despite this fact, the United States has still not enacted sweeping privacy legislation at a national level. At the state level, California was the first state to enact privacy legislation in [[Probable year::2018]], and at least nineteen other states have followed suit with the hope that it will signal the federal government to propose some sort of national privacy legislation for ease of compliance (Sabin, [[Probable year::2021]]) . However, Americans seem to be fine with either approach, with polls showing around 70% find their state government to be responsible for this issue and the same percent find the federal government to be responsible (Sabin, [[Probable year::2021]]) .

	New Zealand		New Zealand

	In [[Probable year::2012]], the New Zealand Privacy Commissioner published a privacy study completed by UMR Research. This study found that 90% of people wanted the government to protect their data and be told by companies how their data was being used (Privacy Commissioner, [[Probable year::2012]], 9). Interestingly, only 66% were concerned about the presence of their personal data online (Privacy Commissioner, [[Probable year::2012]], 12). However, 88% of respondents wanted businesses to be punished if they were using data incorrectly, and 97% wanted the Privacy Commissioner to be able to reprimand companies if they were breaching the then enforceable [[Probable year::1993]] Privacy Act (Privacy Commissioner, [[Probable year::2012]], 23, 10). Since this study was published, the [[Probable year::1993]] Privacy Act has been updated. Now, if an investigation reveals a breach of duty or misconduct, Article 96 of the Privacy Act [[Probable year::2020]] requires the Commissioner to refer the matter to authorities, reflecting some of the public’s wants revealed in the [[Probable year::2012]] poll.
