Privacy
Noun · Security & Infosec
Definitions
The discipline of controlling how personal or sensitive information is collected, used, shared, stored, and deleted in accordance with expectations, rights, and law. In security work, privacy overlaps with protection from unauthorized access but also covers whether the data should be used at all in a given way.
In plain English: The careful and appropriate handling of people's personal information.
Example: "The feature was technically secure, but it still raised privacy concerns because it collected more location data than the product actually needed."
