Exploitation of personal data

Exploitation of personal data refers to the unauthorized or unethical use of individuals' private information, such as online activities, preferences, and behaviors. Companies or organizations may collect this data to target advertisements, manipulate opinions, or even sell it to third parties without the individual's consent. This practice raises concerns about privacy, security, and the potential for discrimination. While data can be valuable for improving services, its exploitation can lead to misuse and a loss of control over one's personal information. Understanding these practices is essential for protecting privacy in an increasingly digital world.
