Lecture Notes: Introduction to Data Privacy and Protection

Data privacy refers to the proper handling, processing, storage, and usage of personal information to
protect individuals' rights and freedoms. With the rapid growth of digital technologies, safeguarding
personal data has become increasingly important for individuals, organizations, and governments.

The core principles of data privacy include consent, purpose limitation, data minimization, accuracy,
storage limitation, integrity, confidentiality, and accountability. These principles ensure that
personal data is collected lawfully, used only for specific purposes, kept accurate and up to date, and
stored only as long as necessary.

Key legislation worldwide includes the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European
Union, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in the United States, and other national laws
aimed at protecting individuals' data rights.

Data protection involves technical and organizational measures such as encryption, access controls,
anonymization, and regular security audits to prevent unauthorized access, data breaches, or misuse.

Organizations must implement data governance frameworks to manage data responsibly. This
includes appointing data protection officers, conducting impact assessments, and providing
transparency to users about data collection and processing.

Failure to comply with data privacy laws can lead to significant fines and damage to reputation.
Beyond legal compliance, protecting data fosters trust with customers and stakeholders.

As data volume grows, understanding data privacy and protection is critical for IT professionals,
business leaders, and policymakers to create secure digital environments and respect user rights.
