(62 cards)
Data privacy, also called
information privacy
is the aspect of information technology (IT) that deals with the ability an organization or individual has to determine what data in a computer system can be shared with third parties.
data privacy
- is the intrusion into the personal life of another, without just cause, which can give the person whose privacy has been invaded a right to bring a lawsuit for damages against the person or entity that intruded.
Invasion of privacy
- is the deliberate use of someone else’s identity, usually as a method to gain a financial advantage or obtain credit and other benefits in the other person’s name, and perhaps to the other person’s disadvantage or loss.
The person whose identity has been assumed may suffer adverse consequences, especially if they are held responsible for the perpetrator’s actions.
Identity theft
- is when someone steals your personal information and uses it without your permission. This information could consist of your name, address, date of birth, social security number, etc. When your personal information is stolen and used to commit a crime or some type of fraud, that’s considered identity theft.

- The more someone knows about us, the more power they can have over us. Personal data is essential to make important decisions in our lives. Once that data lands into someone’s hand, they can use that information to influence our decisions and shape our behavior. It can used as a tool to exercise control over us.
Limit on Power
- Privacy is about respecting individuals. Every person has a reason why they want to keep something for themselves, and we need to respect that.
Respect for Individuals
- People set boundaries from others in society. May it be physical or informational boundary. There are times that we want space or a place to be alone. Or for some people, they don’t want too much physical contact to other people.
Maintaining Appropriate Social Boundaries
- In relationships, whether personal or professional, we depend upon trusting the other party. In professional relationships such as our relationships with doctors and lawyers, this trust is the key to maintaining candor in the relationship. When trust is breached in one relationship, it could make us more reluctant to trust in other relationships.
Trust
- Privacy is one of the keys to freedom of thought. A watchful eye over everything we read, or watch can chill us from exploring ideas outside the mainstream.
Freedom of Thought and Speech
- Privacy helps protect our ability to associate with other people and engage in political activity. A key component of freedom of political association is the ability to do so with privacy if one chooses. The watchful eye can disrupt and unduly influence these activities.
Freedom of Social and Political Activities
- People are not static; they change and grow throughout their lives. There is a great value in the ability to have a second chance, to be able to move beyond a mistake, to be able to reinvent oneself. Privacy nurtures this ability. It allows people to grow and mature without being shackled with all the foolish things they might have done in the past.
Ability to Change and Have Second Chances
- An important reason why privacy matters is not having to explain or justify oneself. We may do a lot of things which, if judged from afar by others lacking complete knowledge or understanding, may seem odd or embarrassing or worse.
Not Having to Explain or Justify Oneself
- happens when someone steals your personal information (name, Social Security number, credit card information, etc.) for financial gain and other highly illegal purposes
Online identity theft
is quickly becoming the most likely way your identity could be stolen.
