Stellar Data Recovery Ensures Your Private Information Stays Private

Have you ever thought what data is private and sensitive? Which data has to be extensively protected? And, have you ever considered the fact that if there is a breach of data, then what will be the outcome? This article tries to answer all these questions.

What is Data Breach?

Data Breach is a security incident. It is a situation where your confidential, private, sensitive, or protected data is being shared or traded for one’s benefit.

Let’s look at an example. Suppose, you apply for a loan wherein you coordinated with a bank representative online and shared your personal details such as your phone number, email address, date of birth, name, etc. He took every required detail and assured you of a loan within a stipulated time. However, within the next 24 hours, you are flooded with calls and emails from other banks offering you loans. This is a classic example of a data breach. As there is no legislative framework to safeguard your data, it is quite likely that your data shared with other financial institutions.

Before we delve into how we can safeguard our valuable data, let’s look at the various categories of personal data and why there is a need for Data Privacy.

What is personal data?

There are four broad categories of personal data. These are as follows:

• Health data: This includes your medical history, genetic data, fitness data, etc.
• Current Situation Living data: This includes your date of birth, email address, phone number, bank information, etc.
• Professional and Academic data: This includes where you work, your position, grades, assessments, certificates, etc.
• Subjective as well as private life data: It includes your IP address, geo-tracking detail, photos, etc.

What is Data Privacy & Why Is It Needed?

We live in a modern era as well as an increasingly networked world where digital devices play a significant role. These digital devices have made our lives easier as well as comfortable. Each second, an individual’s data is being generated, be it at work, while surfing online, buying goods and services, and much more.

In short, we can say that in the near future, Data will be an integral source of immense social and economic value. Thereby, to safeguard this data from unauthorized access, data privacy is a must.

Your personal information is your identity. Let us look at how we can keep our data secure.

How can you keep Data Private at your Level?

• Mark your Unique Online Presence: It can be done easily by setting security and privacy settings on any one service or device that you used for information sharing.
• Clean up your machine: It is another simple way. For keeping your machine clean, you just need to ensure that your web browser, security software and operating system are updated and free from online threats, malware, and viruses.
• Login LockDown: For this, you simply have to lock your account with strong authentication tool. It can be a unique one-time code, biometrics, or a security key. Simply protecting your data using passwords is not enough.

How can you ensure your Private Data is Private at Organizational Level?

By checking whether a particular project or task requires your personal information or not. In case it is required, then to what extent, how will it affect you, and what will the organization do with it when a project wraps up.

By looking into what aspects of your information will be shared publically.
