Data Privacy is the relationship between the collection and dissemination of data, technology, the public expectation of privacy, and the legal and political issues surrounding them. While more and more personal information is exposed and transactions are carried out online, internet users might be more inclined to believe that privacy in the digital world is impossible. However, the confidentiality of data is still relevant notwithstanding the current digitalised world. When data that should be kept private gets in the wrong hands, bad things can happen. A data breach at a government agency might put top-secret information in the hands of an enemy state. A breach at a corporation might put proprietary data in the hands of a competitor. Hence, is data privacy still relevant or impossible?
