Topic: Data privacy


  
  Data privacy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Data privacy refers to the evolving relationship between technology and the legal right to, or public expectation of privacy in the collection and sharing of data.
Privacy problems exist wherever uniquely identifiable data relating to a person or persons are collected and stored, in digital form or otherwise.
Data privacy is not highly legislated or regulated in the U.S. In the United States, access to private data is culturally acceptable in many cases, such as credit reports for employment or housing purposes.

The European Union's Directive on Data Privacy enacted in 1998 is a case in point.
Access must encompass timely and inexpensive access to data, a simple means for contesting inaccurate or incomplete data, a mechanism by which the data collector can verify the information, and the means by which corrections and/or consumer objections can be added to the data file and sent to all data recipients.
To assure data integrity, collectors must take reasonable steps, such as using only reputable sources of data and cross-referencing data against multiple sources, providing consumer access to data, and destroying untimely data or converting it to anonymous form.
