Data refers to any information that can be collected, processed, and used. This can include personal information like names, addresses, and online activity, as well as business data like customer records and financial transactions.
Data privacy focuses on the responsible handling and protection of personal data. It encompasses principles such as:
Individual Rights: Granting individuals control over their personal data, including the right to access, rectify, erase, and object to processing.
Data Minimization: Collecting only the data necessary for a specific purpose and avoiding excessive data collection.
Data Security: Implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, 1 or processing.
