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.
