Data Privacy

Understanding Data Privacy

Data privacy is the field responsible for managing sensitive data, including its notice, consent, and regulatory requirements, in order to protect and secure it.

It is important to understand that data handling can be divided into three categories: traditional data protection (backup and file restoration), data security, and data privacy.

Data privacy and protection ensure that individuals or parties have full control over their personal information and comply with privacy laws. However, in today’s technological landscape, major companies like Amazon, Google, and Facebook capitalize on data economics, as data has become a valuable asset.

When using various media platforms, users agree to participate in the collection, storage, management, and sharing of their data. It is their responsibility to read and understand the privacy policy of the internet or media platform before giving consent to ensure their data is not misused.

However, data privacy has not yet extended to decentralized technologies. In a blockchain framework, users have complete ownership of their data within a network. However, all users within the network can access information about all transactions. As long as a user’s wallet address is not linked to their real-world identity, their privacy is maintained.

Unfortunately, many users have used platforms that require Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures, which reveal their real-world identities. There are several solutions available to preserve privacy while conducting cryptocurrency transactions, including privacy coins, mixers, and private wallets like Blank.
