Data Privacy Regulations
Data privacy laws protect individuals' rights over their personal data. As a data professional, you must understand these regulations because violations carry severe penalties and erode public trust.
Key Principles
- Data minimisation — collect only what you need
- Purpose limitation — use data only for stated purposes
- Consent — obtain clear, informed permission
- Right to erasure — individuals can request data deletion
- Anonymisation vs pseudonymisation — different levels of de-identification
