Search Primer

Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.

Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "China import").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead.

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., +CBP).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).

Singular form: Always use the singular form when doing multi-word terms (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls").

Shortest word form: When you have different word forms in a quoted (multi-word) term, you want to only include the shortest version if it is the last part of the expression (e.g., "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").

Latvian Data Protection Authority Advises on Appropriate Privacy Policies
February 19, 2025 |Europe

The Latvian data protection authority Wednesday advised organizations on gaps it sees in privacy policies and how to fix them. One problem, the Data State Inspectorate said, is that privacy policies tend to be posted on a website in a way that makes them hard to find and access. Another is that organizations often use standardized or copied privacy policies instead of adapting them to their own unique business.
