Protecting the privacy of personal data is an ongoing journey. Our approach has never been to check the boxes of compliance and move on. We are continually evaluating how we handle personal data and looking for ways to minimize the amount of personal data we receive. We will continue to be self-critical and examine our own motivations for the technologies we develop. And we will keep working, just as we have for the past ten years, to find new ways to secure privacy and security for our customers and for the Internet as a whole.

But, as a child develops and gets older, a natural and healthy separation begins. The day comes when your child goes to the bathroom and closes the door because he wants privacy, and he gets embarrassed if someone walks in.
One empty beer can is sufficient reason. If you find alcohol or drugs or pills, I think you have to start looking around, because your responsibility is to try to protect your child from himself. And in order to accomplish that, you need knowledge.
And your kids should know that if they violate your trust, one of the things that are going to change is that you are going to be watching them more carefully. And yes, that might mean going through their drawers or closet or looking through their phone.
For organizations subject to the GDPR, there are two broad categories of compliance you need to understand: data protection and data privacy. Data protection means keeping data safe from unauthorized access. Data privacy means empowering your users to make their own decisions about who can process their data and for what purpose.
Short of asking you to erase their data, data subjects can request that you temporarily change the way you process their data (such as removing it temporarily from your website) if they believe the information is inaccurate, is being used illegally, or is no longer needed by the controller for the purposes claimed. The data subject has the right to simply object to your processing of their data as well. Also important to note: If you decide to take any action related to Articles 16, 17, or 18, then Article 19 requires you to notify the data subject.
As you can see, the data privacy principles of the GDPR are fairly straightforward. The law asks you to make a good faith effort to give people the means to control how their data is used and who has access to it. To facilitate this, you must transparently and openly provide them with the information they need to understand how their data is collected and used. And you have to make it simple for your customers and users to exercise the various rights (of access, of erasure, etc.) contained in Chapter 3.
What information do we collect?On an anonymous basis, we may record IP addresses (the Internet address of a computer) to track sessions on our site to tell us which parts of our site users visit, how often they visit, and how long they stay. IP addresses are not linked by us to any personally identifiable information. We may also track browser and platform type to help make our site operate correctly with your browser. Again, this process is anonymous. However, if you apply to register with us, we will ask you to send us your name, e-mail address, phone number, fax number, postal address, and possibly other personal information. Additional demographic information may be optionally requested to improve our service.

In higher education, we must work not only toward providing better security around student data but also toward educating students about the need to critically evaluate how their data is used and how to participate in shaping data privacy practices and policies.
Data from the core academic processes of teaching, learning, and scholarship is estimated to be a potential multibillion-dollar (perhaps multitrillion-dollar) market.1 Not surprisingly, privacy concerns around this data have become an increasingly hot-button topic. In an ever-increasing array of examples, data privacy violations have whittled away consumers' trust.2 Higher education institutions, experiencing their own trust crises, have a duty to protect data privacy beyond consumer standards. EDUCAUSE listed privacy as the third most-pressing issue for higher education information technology in 2019.3 The conversation around data privacy in higher education often centers on regulation, legislation, and policy development. While laws and internal policies are critical, they take time to develop, and in that time new models and practices come forward to bypass proposed and existing regulations. Given the enormous economic incentives to collect personal data, it seems unlikely that law or policy will ever fully catch up with business strategy. 2ff7e9595c
