DPA (Data Protection Act)

The Data Protection Act (DPA) is a law that safeguards personal information held by organizations. It ensures that personal data is collected, stored, and used responsibly, respecting individuals' rights. Organizations must handle data fairly, keep it secure, and only use it for specific, lawful purposes. People have rights to access their data and request corrections or deletion. The DPA promotes transparency and accountability, helping to prevent misuse or mishandling of personal information, thereby building trust between individuals and organizations.
