Free apps often seem costless, but they exploit personal data as their main revenue source. Users unknowingly grant access to sensitive information, which can be sold or used for targeted advertising. To safeguard privacy, it's crucial to review app permissions, read privacy policies, and choose privacy-focused alternatives.
In a data-driven environment, aligning data governance with privacy laws is essential to mitigate risks and protect user privacy. Organizations must understand applicable regulations, classify data by its sensitivity, practice data minimisation, strengthen security measures, create transparent sharing policies, conduct regular audits, and train employees to ensure compliance and safeguard sensitive information.
Data governance is essential for organisational efficiency, establishing data quality, and ensuring compliance with regulations. While challenging to gain leadership buy-in, its ROI is measurable through cost savings and improved decision-making. Effective communication about its advantages can secure necessary resources for successful implementation, framing it as a strategic investment rather than merely an IT initiative.
