data access policies

Data access policies are rules that determine who can view or use certain information within an organization. They ensure that sensitive or private data is protected by setting permissions based on roles, responsibilities, or need-to-know. These policies help prevent unauthorized access, safeguard privacy, and ensure compliance with regulations. Essentially, they define who is allowed to see or handle specific data, under what circumstances, and how that data should be managed, ensuring data security and responsible use across the organization.
