Why Is Privacy Important?

We all have things to hide. It could be how much money you make, your medical records, or your bank account number. Hiding things is not bad. I don’t think these are the types of things you’d like broadcasted on your social network for the entire world to see. This is why we must strive to protect our right to privacy.

Earlier this year, a young woman purchased a few nondescript items such as cotton balls, unscented lotion, and some vitamins. Based on what the company already knew about her, they were able to correctly predict that she was pregnant, and began targeting her for baby items by sending her coupons in the mail. The issue? She was a teenage girl, and these coupons alerted her father (much to his dismay) that she was indeed pregnant.

The most important thing to remember about your privacy is that it is YOURS. It is your information, your habits and patterns, and your actions. Therefore you should want to protect it in any way possible.

WHY IS PRIVACY IMPORTANT?

We as a whole have things to stow away. It could be how much cash you make, your clinical records, or your financial balance number. Concealing things isn't awful. I don't think these are the sorts of things you'd like communicated on your interpersonal organization for the whole world to see. This is the reason we should endeavor to ensure our entitlement to security.

Prior this year, a young lady bought a couple of dull things, for example, cotton balls, unscented moisturizer, and a few nutrients. In light of what the organization definitely thought about her, they had the option to effectively foresee that she was pregnant, and started focusing on her for child things by sending her coupons via the post office. The issue? She was a high school young lady, and these coupons alarmed her dad (unfortunately) that she was in fact pregnant.

The most significant thing to recall about your protection is that it is YOURS. It is your data, your propensities and designs, and your activities. Consequently you should need to ensure it in any capacity conceivable.
