Abstract
The global economy of today, boosted by propagation of e-commerce, has elevated the privacy and security issues to a worldwide platform. E-commerce growth is strongest in the US and the European Union. Recently India and China have also become significant players in the global commercial setting. This research is exploratory in nature and attempts to examine privacy protection practices in the United States, Europe, India and China. The results indicate that information privacy protection practices are prevalent in the USA. On the other side of the spectrum is China with a completely different view of personal privacy reflecting the nations’ treatment of information privacy.

The global economy of today, boosted by propagation of e-commerce, has elevated the privacy and security issues to a worldwide platform. E-commerce growth is strongest in the US and the European Union. Recently India and China have also become significant players in the global commercial setting. This research is exploratory in nature and attempts to examine privacy protection practices in the United States, Europe, India and China. The results indicate that information privacy protection practices are prevalent in the USA. On the other side of the spectrum is China with a completely different view of personal privacy reflecting the nations’ treatment of information privacy.
