“You can have security without privacy, but you can’t have privacy without security.”
Before we dive into it, let’s first define Data Privacy and Data Security. While they overlap, they are distinct and should be understood as such.
Defining Data Privacy and Data Security
Data Privacy addresses the rights of individuals to control how and to what extent information about them, their personal information, is collected and used within organizations with whom they choose to interact.
Data Security is about assuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information assets — in this case, personal information.
Simply put: data privacy generally refers to collecting, accessing, and using personal information, while data security is about keeping that information safe and secure.
