Key Requirements:
🔹 GDPR (EU):

Disclose what data you collect (emails, cookies, payment info).

Explain the purpose (orders, marketing, analytics).

Allow users to request data deletion (via email or form).

🔹 CCPA (California):

Let users opt out of data sales (add a "Do Not Sell My Info" link).

Disclose third-party data sharing (e.g., Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel).

Steps to Compliance:

Audit your data collection (checkout forms, email tools, ads).

Update your Privacy Policy with GDPR/CCPA clauses.

Add a cookie consent banner (use apps like Cookiebot or GDPR Legal Cookie).
