This paper examines the relationship between Financial Technology (FinTech) and data privacy laws, highlighting the challenges and opportunities faced by FinTech companies in navigating the evolving regulatory landscape. The digital transformation of financial services has led to the rise of FinTech, which offers innovative financial solutions but also raises concerns about data privacy and consumer protection. The study explores the impact of data privacy laws on FinTech, regulatory compliance challenges, and the opportunities for fostering trust and innovation in the digital financial ecosystem. It employs a qualitative research design, reviewing scholarly literature, legal documents, and regulatory frameworks to analyze the complex dynamics at play. The findings reveal a "Innovation Trilemma," where FinTech's drive for innovation often conflicts with the need for market integrity and regulatory clarity. The study emphasizes the importance of ethical considerations in FinTech adoption, advocating for regulatory adaptability, ethical innovation, and collaborative engagement among stakeholders. It calls for a balanced approach that supports innovation while ensuring consumer protection and market integrity. The paper also discusses the global development of data privacy legislation, highlighting the need for harmonization of data privacy norms and the challenges posed by regulatory fragmentation. The intersection of data privacy laws and FinTech is critical, as FinTech companies must navigate a complex web of global data privacy regulations while maintaining customer trust and compliance with legal standards. The study underscores the importance of ethical data practices, transparency, and robust cybersecurity measures in building trust and ensuring the sustainability of FinTech. The paper concludes by emphasizing the need for a collaborative approach between regulators, industry stakeholders, and consumers to create a regulatory environment that supports innovation while protecting individual privacy rights.This paper examines the relationship between Financial Technology (FinTech) and data privacy laws, highlighting the challenges and opportunities faced by FinTech companies in navigating the evolving regulatory landscape.
