11. DATA PRIVACY
Data privacy generally means the ability of a person to determine for themselves when, how, and to what extent personal information about them is shared with or communicated to others. This personal information can be one's name, location, contact information, or online or real-world behavior. Just as someone may wish to exclude people from a private conversation, many online users want to control or prevent certain types of personal data collection. As Internet usage has increased over the years, so has the importance of data privacy. Websites, applications, and social media platforms often need to collect and store personal data about users in order to provide services. However, some applications and platforms may exceed users' expectations for data collection and usage, leaving users with less privacy than they realized. Other applications and platforms may not place adequate safeguards around the data they collect, which can result in a data breach that compromises user privacy.
As technological advances have improved data collection and surveillance capabilities, governments around the world have started passing laws regulating what kind of data can be collected about users, how that data can be used, and how data should be stored and protected. Some of the most important regulatory privacy frameworks to know include:
a.
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): Regulates how the personal data of European Union (EU) data subjects, meaning individuals, can be collected, stored, and processed, and gives data subjects rights to control their personal data (including a right to be forgotten).
b.
National data protection laws: India has a comprehensive Digital Data Protection Laws, IT Act, etc.
c.
Fair Information Practices: Many of the existing data protection laws are based on foundational privacy principles and practices, such as those laid out in the Fair Information Practices. The Fair Information Practices are a set of guidelines for data collection and usage. The Fair Information Practices are:
i.
Collection limitation: There should be limits to how much personal data can be collected;
ii.
Data quality: Personal data, when collected, should be accurate and related to the purpose it is being used for;
iii.
Purpose specification: The use for personal data should be specified;
iv.
Use limitation: Data should not be used for purposes other than what was specified;
v.
Security safeguards: Data should be kept secure
vi.
Openness: Personal data collection and usage should not be kept secret from individuals;
vii.
Individual participation: Individuals have a number of rights, including the right to know who has their personal data, to have their data communicated to them, to know why a request for their data is denied, and to have their personal data corrected or erased;
viii.
Accountability: Anyone who collects data should be held accountable for implementing these principles
12. CHALLENGES FACED BY THE COMPANY WHEN PROTECTING USER PRIVACY
a.
Communication: Company may struggle to communicate clearly to you what personal data it is collecting and how it will use it.
b.
Cybercrime: Attackers may target both individual users and organizations that collect and store data about you. In addition, as more aspects of a business become Internet- connected, the attack surface increases.
c.
Data breaches: A data breach can lead to a massive violation of user privacy if personal details are leaked, and attackers continue to refine the techniques they use to cause these breaches.
d.
Insider threats: Internal employees or contractors might inappropriately access data if it is not adequately protected.
