    Chapter 6 Privacy

    A. Privacy Protection and the Law:


    1. Information Privacy - refers to the protection of personal information and data from unauthorized access,
    use, or disclosure. It involves ensuring that individuals have control over their own personal data and that it
    is kept secure.
    2. Philippines The Data Privacy Act - is a law that aims to protect the personal information of individuals. It
    sets guidelines and regulations for the collection, processing, and storage of personal data to ensure privacy
    and security.

    B. Key Privacy and Anonymity Issues:


    1. Data Breaches - occur when sensitive or confidential information is accessed, stolen, or released without
    authorization. This can lead to identity theft, financial loss, and other consequences for individuals and
    organizations.
    2. Electronic Discovery -refers to the process of identifying, collecting, and producing electronically stored
    information for legal purposes. It raises privacy concerns as it involves accessing potentially sensitive data.
    3. Consumer Profiling - is the practice of analyzing consumer data to create targeted marketing strategies.
    This raises concerns about privacy as it involves collecting and using personal information without
    individuals' consent.
    4. Workplace Monitoring - involves tracking employees' activities, such as internet usage, emails, and
    phone calls. While it can be used for security and productivity purposes, it can also infringe on employees'
    privacy rights.
    5. Advanced Surveillance Technology - such as facial recognition systems and drones, raises concerns about
    privacy as it can be used for monitoring and tracking individuals without their knowledge or consent.

    Here are a few questions to consider while working on these research topics:
    A. Discuss the difference between privacy and security.
    Privacy refers to the right of an individual to control their personal information and keep it confidential. This
    includes things like personal details, communication, and browsing history. Security, on the other hand,
    focuses on protecting this information from unauthorized access and ensuring that it is not compromised by
    external threats. While privacy is about maintaining control over one's information, security is about
    safeguarding that information from potential breaches.
    A. Explain the various risks to internet privacy.
    These are various risks to internet privacy, including data breaches, identity theft, phishing scams, and
    online tracking. Data breaches occur when hackers gain access to sensitive information stored online,
    leading to potential misuse of personal data. Identity theft involves using stolen information to commit fraud
    or other crimes. Phishing scams involve tricking individuals into revealing personal information, such as
    passwords or financial details. Online tracking involves monitoring an individual's online activities for
    targeted advertising or other purposes, often without their consent.
    C. Identify and understand the different key privacy and anonymity issues.
    Key privacy and anonymity issues include tracking and surveillance, data collection and profiling, and
    government surveillance. Tracking and surveillance involve monitoring an individual's online activities,
    such as browsing history, location data, and social media interactions. Data collection and profiling refer to
    the gathering of personal information for targeted advertising or other purposes, often without the
    individual's knowledge or consent. Government surveillance involves monitoring and collecting data on
    individuals for national security purposes, potentially violating their privacy rights and anonymity. These
    issues highlight the importance of protecting personal information and ensuring privacy and anonymity
    online.
