A law is enforceable by the judicial system and its main purpose is to bring justice to the society. However, a policy is a set of rules usually set by organizations and corporations to achieve certain goals. A policy should comply with the law. Every company can have its own policy so long as it complies with the law, however no company can make its own law.
