Data Privacy
What is data privacy?
Data privacy and data security are rigidly interconnected, so people often think of them as synonymous. But the differences between privacy and security are vital to understanding how one complements the other. Data security focuses on protecting data against unauthorized access. Data privacy is about authorized access — who has it and who defines it. Data privacy concerns emerge wherever personally identifiable information is accumulated, stored, or used.
Privacy legislation, such as the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), is frequently referred to as data protection legislation because the fundamental goal is to establish expectations for how personal data may be gathered and used, how it should be secured, who should have access and disposed of and what rights individuals have concerning their personal data. The ultimate goal of these laws and regulations is to shield individuals from lapses in security, which would result in the inappropriate use of their personal data.
