# Privacy Privacy is a fundamental concept that pertains to the individual's right to control the access and use of their personal information. It encompasses the expectation that personal spaces and communications remain free from unwarranted intrusion. In an increasingly digital world, privacy is not only about physical solitude but also concerns the safeguarding of personal data from unauthorized access and misuse. The importance of privacy is underscored by its role in preserving autonomy and confidentiality in personal and professional contexts. Privacy concerns significantly influence data governance practices, prompting organizations to implement robust data protection measures to uphold individual privacy rights and foster trust.
