What is Privacy?
Privacy is the right to keep your personal information, such as your name, address, and online activity, private. It's about control over who has access to your data and how it's used.
There are different levels of privacy, ranging from broad privacy (keeping information private from everyone) to granular privacy (controlling access to specific information).
Types of Privacy
- Personal Privacy: Related to your individual information.
- Data Privacy: Laws governing the collection, use, and storage of personal data.
- Network Privacy: Protecting your online activities from surveillance.
