“Data Privacy” defines the protection of confidential data that a business collects from its customers. Many data privacy laws require that many businesses post data privacy notices on their websites informing their customers of the business’s practices regarding collection, use, retention, and destruction of a customer’s confidential and personally identifiable data.
“Data Security” defines a business’s practices regarding the business’s confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data to those that are authorized to access such data. Businesses often draft and circulate a data security policy amongst its employees to assist in training them about safeguarding the business’s data. Many data security laws require a business to adequately safeguard the business’s data and to adopt a policy regarding the procedures it follows.
