Hmmm...conformity is going along with the crowd.
Compliance is agreeing to a standard. Usually you have more of a choice to conform that to comply.

Conformance Vs Compliance

Conformity is going along with something in order to be part of the group. It is the opposite of rebellion or individuality or freespiritedness. One "conforms" to a "norm" in one's society or in a peer-group or other subgroup. It is a choice, conscious or subconscious. Cognitively one is in harmony, in alignment, with what one conforms to..... though maybe by default, ie from not thinking about it.
Compliance presupposes a regulation by an authority. One complies with someone else's policy e.g. a food manufacturer complies with health regulations. A smoker complies with the office no-smoking policy.
We comply with yahoo's terms and conditions, whereas we conform (or don't) with the normal spelling of English.
Usually, compliance is motivated by a desire to avoid the penalties for non-compliance. Conformity is most often motivated by a desire for the pay-offs from conforming.

conformity is when the rules are not specifically set out or open to some dissent, eg male dress code for attending a ball would be black evening dress but one can get away with white tuxedo if one does not want to conform.
compliance is to follow specific rules, eg as stated in previous answer, a company dress policy

Compliance is when you do as others tell you.
Conforming is when you chose to do it for yourself.
It is a very subtle difference where free will is involved.

As I see it (I didn't bother to look it up) although conformity and compliance are used similarly but actually they can be very different.
You may want to conform to your company's uniform policy.
You may be force to comply (or to be in compliance) with their uniform policy.

What's the difference between extorted action, unwilling compliance and a choosen action? Individual empowered interest. If my power is absolute, to what do I conform but to my human essence or twisted character.
Repost: Love is not a thing
Knowing Love itself is self knowledge that rises above that which was. What was you is now past you, different. But if love is not differentiated in abstraction, then what guide is there for knowing the love from another. It is not enough that you love, but to know what it is as certainly as knowing all other constituents of human essence: psychology.
Here in summary form: Legend of symbols:
'+' = 'a joining', 'a physical contact', 'will to communicate', generally positive, not negating but positing, positioning, proposing...
'-' = a negation, taking a part, destruction, removal, exclusion, ....
Love without specifying relationship nor act specification: + + + +
Sexual activity: - + + + (the reason for the minus "-" is the breaking down for resistence in the form anxiety (drugs, alcohol, ideology), loveless sex has this uncertainty whereas love filled sexual activity has no such uncertainty or resistence)
Sadism: - - + + (this form of aggression has a psychological component that may described spiritual, superstitious, ideological. One '+' is for this 'spiritual component' and the other '+' the will or urge to get at the victim)
Aggression in the form hostility, anger: - - - + (the pure will to destroy, uncluttered with ideology, higher ideal, the unreality of superstition or supernaturality, no abstraction is possible, it is negated. The last '+' is the physical excertion upon the object, the sole but very limited contact with reality, the victim)
defense: - - - - (the will to escape danger, there is no component for contact, the negation desired is total and instantaneous, immediate, to flee, to avert the senses from the threat, ...)
Emotional feelings are neither complex nor simple in that sense for those words. Are we not a funny species; treating words as if they were the reality for which they are to represent, to symbolize, describe, logicate.... is not the life itself for this self. Love is the evolution for human mind in which it is either selected for extinction, becomes an intermittent or intervaling spiritual phenomena or, thirdly, wins the struggle through philosophical superiority and becomes ego ideal self. It is prudent at this point to suggest the failing of love in self is not shame but horror.
I have to sympathize with lazy thinkers, but.... As long as you know the difference between feeling an emotion and loyalty, no problem. We know the rule for persistence over the temporary; it is reputation, ego ideal, morality.

Conformity is outwardly (behaviour) and inwardly (thinking, emotion etc) agreeing to a majority (in some psychological research could be a minority) So you do it and you believe it! Compliance is that outwardly you behave in a way that allows you to fit in but you may not necessarily inwardly believe in what you are doing. i.e. You might steal to look good to your group but not believe in stealing.

To conform means you accept whatever it is, to comply with something means you go along with it and not necessarily agree with it.
