Privacidad

“Privacidad” (privacy) refers to the right or condition of keeping personal information, communications, and activities discreet or protected from public scrutiny and unauthorized access. It encompasses the ability of individuals to control their own personal data, decide what information they share, and with whom they share it. Privacy can pertain to various aspects, including personal space, personal relationships, and information that is sensitive or confidential, such as financial, medical, or identification information. In the digital age, privacy has gained particular significance due to the extensive collection, storage, and sharing of data by both individuals and organizations, raising concerns over data security, surveillance, and consent. Protecting privacy is essential for maintaining personal autonomy and dignity, fostering trust in relationships, and ensuring compliance with legal and ethical standards.
