OECD Privacy Principles

The OECD Privacy Principles are guidelines for protecting personal data. They emphasize that information should be collected fairly and for specific, legitimate purposes. Individuals should be aware of what data is collected and have control over it, including the ability to access and correct their information. Data should be kept secure and used only in ways that align with the original purpose. Transparency is crucial, ensuring individuals understand how their data is handled. These principles promote respect for privacy, accountability, and responsible data management by organizations while balancing societal benefits of data use.
