Privacy

Privacy refers to the right or expectation of individuals to keep their personal information secure and to control how it is shared and used. It encompasses the ability to make choices about what information is disclosed to others, as well as the protection of personal data from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Privacy is a fundamental aspect of human dignity and autonomy, allowing individuals to maintain confidentiality in their personal affairs and relationships. It is often associated with legal rights and regulations, especially in the context of data protection laws, which govern how organizations collect, store, and process personal information. In the digital age, privacy has gained particular importance due to the proliferation of technology, social media, and data collection practices, raising concerns about surveillance, data breaches, and the ethical use of personal data.
