Data Privacy

Data privacy refers to the right of individuals to control how their personal information is collected, used, stored, and shared. It involves protecting sensitive data—like names, addresses, financial details, health records, or online activity—from unauthorized access or misuse.

Key principles of data privacy include:

• Consent: Individuals should know and agree to how their data is used.
• Transparency: Organizations must be clear about what data they collect and why.
• Data minimization: Only necessary data should be collected.
• Security: Data should be protected from breaches or leaks.

Laws like the GDPR (in Europe) and CCPA (in California) enforce these rights, holding companies accountable for mishandling personal information.
