What Is Data Privacy?

When you think of privacy, what comes to mind? Closing your window shades? Keeping your phone screen locked? Shutting the door when you have a sensitive conversation?

We do all of these things to preserve our privacy, but it is important to know exactly what we’re talking about when we say “privacy.” And it is important to know that privacy means something very specific when it comes to your digital life, because it revolves around your rights to protect your personal data.
