What is Sensitive Data Disclosures JUN 2022?

The loss, misuse, modification or unauthorised access to your most sensitive data or personal data can damage your business, ruin customer trust, breach customer privacy and in extreme cases, might attract hefty fines by law regulations.

What is the impact of a WP GDPR JUN 2022?

Data privacy is becoming more and more imperative. Fines vary from country to country in Europe. In over 80 countries, personally identifiable information (PII) is protected by information privacy laws that outline limits to collecting and using PII by public and private organisations.

These laws require organisations to give clear notice to individuals about what sensitive data is collected, the reason for collecting and the planned uses of the data. In consent-based legal frameworks, like WP/Woo GDPR, explicit consent from the individual is required.

What kind of Sensitive Data are exploited??

Sensitive information includes all Private Data, whether original or copied, which contains:

- Personal data: as defined by The EU General Data Protection Regulation (WP/Woo GDPR). A series of broad laws to prevent or discourage identity theft and to guard and protect individual privacy. In general, sensitive data is any data that reveals: Racial or ethnic origin; Political opinion; Religious or philosophical beliefs; Trade union membership; Genetic data; Biometric data; Health data; Sex life or sexual orientation; Financial information (bank account numbers and credit card numbers); Classified information.

- Protected Health Information (PHI): as defined by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). PHI under the law is any information about health status, provision of health care, or payment for health care that is created or collected by a Covered Entity (or a third-party associate) that can be linked to a specific individual.

- Education records: as defined by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA). FERPA governs access to educational information and records by potential employers, publicly funded educational institutions, and foreign governments.

- Customer information: as required by financial institutions to explain how they share and protect their customers' private information.
