Data Sovereignty: The Importance of Keeping Your Data Safe
Too Long; Didn't Read
Data sovereignty refers to the idea that individuals should have control over their personal data and decide how it's used. In light of high-profile data breaches and scandals, this has become an important issue. The EU's GDPR gives individuals the right to know what data companies have on them and the right to have it deleted, but there's still much work to be done. The Internet of Things also collects vast amounts of personal data that can be exploited. Encryption is an effective tool for protecting personal data, but companies must also be held accountable for protecting user data and be transparent about their use and storage of it.
