When it comes to keeping our digital information safe, sometimes we have to look at the role our governments play. Not just the big federal government, but state governments, too. Each state can have its own rules about how businesses should protect our personal details like names, addresses, and credit card numbers.

Recently, experts did some research and found that the states that have strong rules about data privacy and are serious about making sure those rules are followed are actually helping businesses be more secure. When states take the lead and enforce these rules, it sends a clear message to businesses: you have to be careful with people’s private information.

We all know how frustrating and scary it can be if someone gets their hands on our private details. So having these protections is really important. Imagine if all the states took this seriously—our personal information would be so much safer!

This is huge because businesses, no matter how big or small, need help understanding what they should be doing to protect our data. When states are involved, they provide guidance and make sure businesses are held accountable if they slip up.
