Data privacy revolves around empowering individuals with control over the handling of their personal data by organizations. This encompasses principles such as upholding the fundamental rights individuals have regarding their personal data, offering transparent and equitable information, seeking consent prior to data processing, among others.

These regulations necessitate that organizations implement robust measures—spanning people, processes, and technologies—to safeguard personal data throughout their operations.
