Data Privacy and Confidentiality

• Data confidentiality refers to safeguarding information from accidental, illegitimate, or illegal access, disclosure, or theft.
• The privacy of information, as well as permissions to see, distribute, and utilise it, are all aspects of confidentiality. If disclosed to a wider audience than it was meant for, information with little confidentiality concerns may be deemed "public" or generally non-threatening. High-confidentiality information is regarded as secret and must be kept private to avoid identity theft, account and system compromise, reputational harm, and other serious repercussions.

Principles of data security plan:

• TAKE STOCK-Recognize the personal data that is stored in your files and on your PCs.
• SCALE DOWN-Keep only what you absolutely need for your company.
• LOCK IT-Ensure the security of the data you retain.
• PITCH IT-Dispose of whatever you don't need in a proper manner.
• PLAN AHEAD-Make a strategy for handling security incidents.

Hence we can conclude that, for data privacy and confidentiality, the following has to be kept in mind-

• Relevant information to be obtained directly from person concerned
• Keep sensitive information safe and secured in all forms, physical or electronic
• Shred copies of important documents when not in use
