What is Privacy?
Protecting sensitive data is crucial. Privacy means ensuring that your data is handled responsibly and ethically, adhering to relevant regulations and guidelines.
Key Considerations
- Data Minimization: Collect only the data you absolutely need.
- Purpose Limitation: Use data only for the specific purpose for which it was collected.
- Data Security: Implement strong security measures to protect data from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, or destruction.
- Anonymization/Pseudonymization: Replace identifying information with pseudonyms or anonymize data where possible.
- Consent and Transparency: Obtain informed consent from individuals before collecting and using their data.
Example Practices
- Implement robust access controls. - Use encryption for data at rest and in transit. - Regularly audit data processing activities. - Provide users with mechanisms to exercise their rights (access, rectification, erasure, etc.).
