privacy loss

Privacy loss refers to the risk of sensitive personal information being partially or fully exposed or accessed without permission. It occurs when data about an individual is shared, analyzed, or stored in a way that increases the chances of their private details becoming known, intentionally or unintentionally. This can happen through data breaches, misuse, or insufficient safeguards. Managing privacy loss involves implementing protections to minimize these risks, ensuring individuals' personal information remains confidential and secure.
