While data privacy and data security are separate concepts, they work together to protect consumer data.
Data security keeps data safe from hackers(or unauthorised use), while data privacy makes sure your personal information is handled correctly. Confused? Let me simplify more.
Data security is like a lock on a door. It keeps bad guys (hackers) from getting into your stuff. Data privacy is like a rulebook. It tells people how to handle your personal information, like passwords or bank account numbers. So, data security protects your information from being stolen, and data privacy makes sure it's used the right way.
