Legal Definitions - Video Privacy Protection Act

The Video Privacy Protection Act is a law that prevents video stores from sharing information about their customers' rental history with anyone else. This includes the names of movies or TV shows that were rented, as well as any other personal information about the customer.

For example, if you go to a video store and rent a movie, the store cannot tell anyone else what movie you rented. They also cannot share your name or any other personal information with anyone else without your permission.

This law was created to protect people's privacy and prevent their personal information from being shared without their consent. It helps to ensure that people can enjoy movies and TV shows without worrying about their rental history being shared with others.
