Personal privacy in the digital age is a critical aspect that requires constant attention and proactive measures<\/strong> on the part of people with some online activity, asset, or information.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Personal privacy refers to an individual’s ability to control information about their life and decide what data can be shared,<\/strong> under what conditions, when, and with whom. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Digital personal privacy is characterized by several key elements that must be formalized together<\/strong> to guarantee it in the terms set out by law.<\/p>\n The digital age has brought with it several concerns and crimes that affect the privacy of personal information. <\/strong>Some of the main problems to be addressed are: <\/p>\n Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms analyze large volumes of data to identify threats and make decisions. While this capability is beneficial in many ways, it also poses privacy risks. Algorithms can collect and analyze personal data without the user’s knowledge or consent, which can lead to discrimination, loss of privacy, and misuse of information.<\/strong> <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mass surveillance is the extensive collection and monitoring of data on individuals or groups by governments, corporations, or other entities. This surveillance can include data collection from telecommunications, social media, security cameras, and more.<\/strong> Phishing occurs when someone steals personal information,<\/strong> such as names, social security numbers, credit card information, and images, to impersonate someone else. Online scams and frauds constantly threaten personal privacy. <\/strong>Cybercriminals use various tactics to trick people into giving them access to their personal and financial data, including phishing, vishing (phone scams), and smishing (text message scams). <\/p>\n Hate crimes in the digital environment include harassment, threats, and defamation<\/strong> directed at individuals or groups based on characteristics such as race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or disability. Not only do these crimes violate victims’ privacy, but they also have a significant impact on their emotional and psychological well-being. <\/p>\n Privacy crimes include the unauthorized disclosure of personal information<\/strong>, such as intimate data, images, or videos, without the consent of the person concerned. It can happen through hacks, vindictive people, or even dishonest employees with access to personal data. The consequences are often devastating, affecting the victim’s reputation, personal relationships, and mental health. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Protecting personal privacy online requires awareness of the need and a proactive approach<\/strong>. Some practical measures to implement such protection are: <\/p>\n Qondar Personal Threat Watcbots<\/a> is the innovative solution developed by Enthec <\/a>to respond to the growing need for online protection of individual personal privacy<\/strong>.

Maintaining personal privacy has become increasingly challenging in a world where technology and connectivity are ubiquitous. Privacy is not just a matter of keeping information protected but of ensuring everyone has the right to decide how their information is used and who has access to it.<\/strong>
National and international legislation protects individuals’ privacy rights, focusing on personal online privacy. These regulations are the basis of the right to personal privacy <\/strong>and of each person’s responsibility to ensure one’s privacy and to exercise and demand the necessary actions to protect it to the level that each one considers.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
