Data Protection

Data Protection refers to the practice of safeguarding personal and sensitive information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. It encompasses laws, regulations, and best practices aimed at ensuring the privacy and security of data. Data protection involves implementing technical and organizational measures to protect information against data breaches, cyberattacks, and misuse. This concept has gained prominence with the rise of digital data and the increasing concern over privacy rights. Key aspects of data protection include obtaining consent for data processing, ensuring data accuracy, limiting data retention, and providing individuals with rights over their information, such as the right to access, correct, or delete personal data. Compliance with data protection regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union, is essential for organizations that handle personal data.
