As more businesses collect and share customer personal data for their digital economy, it has significantly influenced data privacy in today’s digital age. Data is the most critical asset to both businesses and customers/users. Businesses must ensure the confidentiality and integrity of users’ data and impose strict control over personal data collection and processing.
The technological change of the 21st century has seen rapid growth in the innovation and fastest adoption of cloud computing. It is now considered the most ingenious solution that removes the idea of having a data centre by helping businesses meet their needs virtually in the most cost-effective, efficient, and productive way.
In today’s data-driven world, every other company and application collects a significant amount of important data and individual’s personal information such as name, email ID, address, date of birth, ID number, credit card information, and online behaviours, history and much more. Sharing data has become an essential component to many businesses and organisations; it allows the data controller and data subjects to stay connected and collaborate on many things.
