Privacy Protocols

Privacy protocols are rules and measures designed to protect personal information and maintain confidentiality when data is collected, shared, or stored. They ensure that individuals' private data is handled securely and that consent is obtained before using this information. Examples include encryption to safeguard data during transmission, access controls that limit who can see the data, and guidelines that dictate how long data is retained. These protocols aim to prevent unauthorized access, misuse, or breaches of personal information, fostering trust in how organizations manage sensitive data.
