accountability in privacy

Accountability in privacy means organizations are responsible for protecting personal information and must show they are taking proper steps to do so. If a data breach happens or privacy rules are broken, the organization can be held answerable and may face consequences. It involves having clear policies, practices, and accountability measures in place to ensure data is handled securely and ethically. Essentially, organizations are internally responsible for respecting privacy rights and can be trusted to act carefully and transparently when managing personal information.
