Data Protection & Ethics
CE Credit:1.0 Hr
Course Summary
Data Protection is an ethical issue. When collecting, using and sharing personal
data, ethical considerations and legal obligations must guide the way. It involves
respect for individuals and their rights regarding privacy and the use of
information about them. Depending on the type of data you collect, you will have
to deal with different laws. Whereas Intellectual Property legislation applies to all
data, the collection of personal data has its own laws to adhere to. This lecture
