Our personal data is like a fingerprint—unique, valuable, and vulnerable. Without proper awareness and protection, it can be exploited, leading to severe consequences. Data privacy awareness is crucial to protect your information and maintain control over your online identity.
Data privacy refers to the protection of personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. It ensures individuals have control over their data and how it is used.

Identity Theft: Your personal information can be stolen and used for illegal activities, leading to financial loss, stress, and damage to your reputation.
Financial Loss: Sensitive financial data in the wrong hands can expose individuals to fraud and scams, putting their wealth and assets at risk.
Discrimination: Misuse of personal data could lead to unfair treatment in employment, housing, or access to services, based on sensitive information.
Violation of Privacy: Data breaches can result in an erosion of trust, both between individuals and the companies that hold their data.
