                                        "Every day, we share information online—when we create accounts, play
                                       games, shop, or use social media. This information is called personal data."

                     In today’s digital world, personal data has become one of the most valuable resources. Every time
                     an individual browses a website, uses a mobile app, posts on social media, or fills out an online
                     form, information such as name, location, contact details, preferences, and browsing habits is
                     collected. This information can help provide better services, but it also creates risks if it is misused,
                     shared without permission, or accessed by cybercriminals (individuals or groups who engage in

                     illegal activities online)
                     Protecting personal  data  and maintaining privacy  are therefore  essential  for ensuring safety,
                     security, and trust in the digital environment. Data protection involves following safe practices

                     such as using strong passwords, enabling privacy settings,  and being  cautious  while sharing
                     details online. Privacy refers to the right of individuals to control how their personal information
                     is collected, stored, and used.

                                                                                       Protecting Personal Data & Privacy  63
