6 Pathways • 24 Skills
The skill set for data privacy involves understanding and applying practices that protect personal information from unauthorized access and ensure compliance with laws. Its purpose is to safeguard individuals' sensitive data, like financial details or health records, from misuse or breaches. This is crucial because mishandled data can lead to identity theft, financial loss, and erosion of trust in organizations. It's not just about keeping secrets; it's about respecting personal boundaries in the digital world—kind of like not reading someone’s diary without asking.
