Understanding how Licensing Works

Data Privacy and Data Ownership

Data privacy is closely associated with data ownership. When individuals share their personal information with organizations, they retain certain rights over that data. This concept of data ownership implies that individuals should have control over how their information is collected, used, and shared.

The idea of data ownership includes:

  • The right to access personal data
  • The ability to correct inaccurate information
  • The power to request data deletion
  • Control over data sharing with third parties

Know what Third-Party Data Handling is

A third party is an external entity that an organization contracts to perform specific services or functions. These can include data analysis, cloud storage, or other business processes that involve handling sensitive information

Understanding how third-party organizations handle your data is crucial for several reasons:

  • Risk extension: Third parties may have their own vendors (fourth parties), expanding the scope of potential risks.
  • Data breaches: Inadequate security controls by third parties can lead to data loss, identity theft, and fraud.
  • Compliance issues: Organizations are often held responsible for data breaches that occur through their third-party vendors.

Reputational damage: Mishandling of data by third parties can harm the primary organization's reputation and customer trust.
