Privacy and Data Protection


Privacy and data protection is an important component in the digital information age. The number of organizations that have access to and process personal information has also increased. As such, the protection of one’s personally identifiable information has become a serious concern that requires commitment from organizations in order to prevent personally identifiable information breaches and violations of laws and regulations all over the world.

Sharing data may bring benefits, and it has often also become necessary for us to do everyday tasks and engage with other people in today’s society. But it is not without risks. Your personal data reveals a lot about you, your thoughts, and your life. These data can easily be exploited to harm you, and that’s especially dangerous for vulnerable individuals and communities, such as journalists, activists, human rights defenders, and members of oppressed and marginalized groups. That is why these data must be strictly protected.

In the European Union, data protection is a fundamental right, and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the new framework for protecting that right. It is not without flaws, but it represents a very positive framework for users, enabling Europeans to take back control of their personal information. Even as the law is still being implemented — it will come into force in May 2018 — other countries are looking to the GDPR as they develop or implement their own laws to protect data.

Benefits of GDPR compliance

Advantage of the GDPR compliance is better data security. There is absolute privacy that this system subscribes to. The cyberattacks that remain to be a significant challenge in the online platforms can be abetted by embracing the GDPR. The cybersecurity that comes with this system makes sure that things like the impersonation are avoided. The GDPR compliance will make sure that few people, including you, have access to your personal information. This system, too, has a way to tell if there is a breach of your accounts as well. This strategy that is encompassed in the GDPR, therefore, serves as a unique strategy to make sure that your information is private to you.
