Privacy Policy

Definitions

1. A published statement describing what personal data an organization collects, how it uses that data, who it shares it with, and what choices or rights users have. From a security perspective, a privacy policy matters because it defines commitments that technical systems must actually support.

   In plain English: A public document explaining how an organization handles personal data.

   Example: "The product team had to update the privacy policy after adding biometric verification and new third-party fraud checks."
