Argument on Data PrivacyIn di..erent ways the en+ry tion dis+ussion has been a dis ute between two rival hases

o. sa.ety ( trobl udith Cave et al/ (2003*/ In one hase ersons enter rises and

governments re.er .rom a variety o. en+ry tion alternatives to sa.e7guard their se+urityand another in whi+h the .ederal government assumes the rimary a++ountability .or

de.ending rivate and business and governmental se+urity through government romoted

wea"nesses in en+ry tion te+hnology/ hile the te+hnology .labbergast it is still

nas+ent with little or no regulation ad@oining its a li+ation/ Eueries o. data riva+y

in.ormation ethi+s and data ownershi thrive .or users however little has been done to

+ontrol or avoid them/ The emergen+e o. big data analyti+s has blo+"ed the line even

more/ The advan+ements in te+hnology have elevated se+urity tenure and riva+y9ueries not @ust .or +ustomers but also .or enter rises using analyti+s to serve +ustomers/

-egardless o. the advan+es data riva+y oli+ies are still sensitive sub@e+ts= 9ueries about

these to i+s tend to draw little or no res onse/

Conclu ion8iven that the laws and regulations related to data sa.ety are ersistently +hanging it is

im erative to "ee shoulder to shoulder o. any +hanges in the law and .re9uently re7e amine the +on.ormity with data riva+y and se+urity regulations/ The ma@or +on+ern o.

data riva+y in most +ountries arises .rom the matters relating to health+are .inan+ial

transa+tions insuran+e and tele+ommuni+ations/ !ata rote+tion oli+ies heavily target

these areas as they are the most vulnerable to inter.eren+e/ !ata and intera+tions riva+y

is a .oundation +onstitutional rule and ele+troni+ +ommuni+ations needs to be rote+ted

using strong riva+y legislation/ !ata se+urity should be an im erative area o. interest .or
