Don't Collect, Can't Protect: Building Trust Through Data Minimization & Security

Under data privacy and security rule the saying "Do not collect if you cannot protect" is of a kind major principle. Through this, people are taught that a private organization has a vital role to play in that it must be conscientious and keen on safeguards any personal data that it has. Data politics are not just about the choice and weight on people's personal information but about their ethical and legal obligations as well, therefore making every institution a custodian of disclosed personal information. One of the main things in this lesson is the definition of data minimization that we will be discussed about. Organizations should collect the data they require in order to take operations and fulfill the obligations. To ensure that the individual information collected is the minimum, organizations can thus curtail the chances of data leakage as well as misuse. This aspect gets to the main essence of data Protection acts including GDPR and CCPA, that demand businesses to limit collection and processing of data to what is necessary. A crucial part of this instruction hinges on the­ requirement for e­nterprises to put in place sturdy safe­ty protocols to guard the information that's gathered. This involve­s encryption, admission management me­chanisms, and routine safety checks. By pouring re­sources into solid security technique­s, companies can decrease­ the likelihood of data violations and guarantee­ the private data they gathe­r is kept safe. This means companies should only collect information they really need, and they need to keep it safe. It's like locking your door and having an alarm system - they need strong security measures to protect our information from being stolen or used in a bad way.

Pizza Paranoia: When Data Privacy Becomes a Forbidden Topping

In the current age where the digital world is widely prevalent, our personal information has become more exposed than ever. From online purchases to social networking sites, companies is making the most of your information being a subject of surveillance without your awareness. Accordingly, how do you feel about those cases when within the framework of data proving to the public such as private information, personal privacy is reduced in such cases? In this blog, the scenario of a pizza order reveals how any pizza team may have the amount of information, determining the relevance of data privacy and security. Imagine this: You're sitting at home, watching TV, and suddenly you crave a pizza. You pick up the phone, dial the number of your favorite pizza place, and place your order. Seems like a routine scenario, right? But what if I told you that during this seemingly innocuous interaction, the pizza store staff had access to a plethora of your personal data, including your credit card limit and even your health records? A video which was shared by our instructor and in which a man placed seemingly ordinary pizza order exposes us to a really disturbing fact of the utilized store staff who has access to the personal data despite its extent. In the call, the staff gave the customer the news that he had reached the credit card limit for the week or month; latter was recorded into the system. However, the mystery is not even close to being solved as the staff tells him that the pizza he ordered is not appropriate for him based on his health record, and the latter is how the exact details about his health were leaked and used by the pizza store to sell him a special dish. Subsequently, this conversation highlights how the safeguarding of data privacy and security matters, which might in turn prompt conducting a deeper scrutiny of the current regulations and policies around data collection and access. In general, this is a hypothetical scenario in which the failure of the pizza order signifies the possible risks involved in accumulating and exposing raw data to people without any limitation. Companies may however argue that accessing customer data allows them to offer better services but in stead there should be very clear lines of how customers' privacy policy must be protected. The individual's privacy data right makes him/her has the power of data and know about the data access. With the progression of the digital era, we must always safeguard our data privacy and campaign for rules and regulations that put our privacy and safety first in the internet.

Data Security: Are You a Fortress or a Sitting Duck?

Teaching organizations how to secure their data sources by providing guidelines is the main benefit of the Five Pillars of Privacy. An appointment of the Data Privacy Officer will show that privacy is an integral part of the organization and there is the need for dedicated leadership to embed it into the culture of the organization. Such assessments therefore highlight the need for continuous review and updating of the data practices. Having a Data Management Protocol and Privacy Manual means that you are looking for transparency and accountability. The Privacy and Data Protection Section is a call to action to put in place real measures that will ensure that data is secure. The execution of the data breach reporting procedure regularly keeps the enterprise alert and prepped to tackle data breaches in a timely manner. These pillars signal that privacy is a dynamic effort that should be driven by leaders, conducted assessments, use transparency, be in action and be ready always. Regardless of the budget allocated to human and equipment resources, risks will always remain, so implementing the Five Pillars of Privacy will help to reduce the risks and follow the regulations.

Transparency, Legitimate Purpose, Proportionality: The Cornerstones of Data Protection

Our instructor introduces the importance and foundation of Data Privacy and Security that we should know about.

Legitimate purpose was illustrated by an example of a case. It ensured that our data was securely inputted. In this situation, I was prompted to think that universities like ours should be employing student information only for the reasons it was meant for — the programs that we were applying for.

The other case that demonstrated the principle of transparency was also presented. It was carried out through data outsourcing to third parties including CHED for scholarship or government funding. This situation illustrates the fact that we as organizations should be open about the reasons and people, we are sharing our data with and you as individuals should be aware and consent to such practices.

The most dreadful case was the one of privacy and security. It illustrated the possible situation where somebody hacks into the university networks and gets access to our data. This case was a good example that the organizations must have high security measures in place to protect the data and the principle of proportionality, which implies that the organizations must collect and store only the data, which is needed in their activities.

We have reflected on the situations that led me to know more about the concepts of data privacy. They showed me that not only do the rules follow but also the respect for people's rights and the responsible and ethical treatment of personal information.
