                 Individual Right to Privacy


                 We all know that technology has become an important part of our daily life. That’s why the
                 definition  of  privacy  has  also  changed.  The  Right  to  Privacy  can  be  defined  as  the  right  of
                 individuals to know and decide when, how, and to what extent their information may be shared
                 with others. Privacy issues arise when information which is collected for one specific purpose is
                 being shared with the other companies without informing the authorised owner.

                 Measures to Protect Privacy

                 To avoid a Privacy breach, we can take the following measures:

                      Don’t fill your personal information on every site.
                      Enalbe Private Browsing mode.

                      Use two-factor  authentication which is  an extra  layer of security that not only requires
                      username and password but PIN number or some information which only user can have. All
                      e-mail service providers these days provide such authentication.
                      At online transactions, use trusted payment gateways like paypal, razorpay etc.

                      Don’t share your credit card PIN with others for purchasing as it can be misused by others.
                 Software Piracy

                 Software piracy means illegal use of software. This means that you have not bought software or
                 you don’t have permission to use it. An example of software piracy is when you download a copy

                 of Flash from a file-sharing website without paying for it.
                 We break the Software Piracy Law when we:

                      Purchase a software for single computer and use it on multiple computers.

                      Install unauthorised copies of software on a computer.
                      Distribute a copy of software without permission of the creator.

                 Measures to Prevent Software Piracy
                 To prevent software piracy, we can take the following measures:

                      Always purchase licensed software if you want to use it.
                      Never  download  or  stream  movies from  illegal sources.  Always  use genuine  and
                      authenticated platforms.

                                                                                                                13
