Data Privacy and Ethics

Data privacy refers to the protection of individuals' personal information and their right to control how it is used. It intersects with ethics and human rights, as everyone deserves the right to privacy, dignity, and security. Organizations collecting data must handle it responsibly, ensuring it does not harm individuals or violate their rights. Ethical data practices involve transparency, consent, and accountability, fostering trust and protecting individuals from misuse, discrimination, or surveillance. Upholding data privacy is essential for preserving democratic values and empowering people in an increasingly digital world.
