Surveillance law refers to legal frameworks that govern the monitoring and collection of information, often by governments, from individuals or organizations. These laws define the permissible scope, methods, and oversight of activities such as data interception, communications monitoring, and financial transaction tracking. In the digital asset realm, they dictate how authorities can access and analyze blockchain data or user identities. Such legislation aims to balance national security and crime prevention with individual privacy rights.
