Data privacy refers to the policy and practice of handling personal information in a way that protects individuals’ rights to control their own data. It encompasses the collection, storage, processing, and sharing of data, ensuring that individuals’ personal information is kept secure and used ethically. Data privacy laws and regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union, establish guidelines for how organizations must manage personal data to safeguard individuals’ privacy. Key principles of data privacy include transparency, consent, data minimization, and the right to access one’s own data. The focus is on preventing unauthorized access, data breaches, and misuse of personal information.
