Data Privacy and Protection

Data privacy and protection refer to how personal information is collected, stored, and used by organizations and governments. It ensures individuals have control over their data, including the right to know what information is held about them, how it's used, and the ability to request its deletion. Laws like the GDPR in Europe impose strict rules on data handling to safeguard individual privacy. Effective data protection helps prevent unauthorized access, misuse, and breaches that could lead to identity theft or loss of sensitive information, fostering trust in digital interactions.
