Privacy

Privacy is a major social and ethical issue when it comes under internet and the area of databases. When people enter information into a database or survey, they need to be certain that their personal information is not used for other purposes. Individuals have a right to control their personal information.

The data collected about customers in my company’s database includes:
• First Name
• Last Name
• Address
• Suburb
• Post Code
• Mobile Number

When customers choose to purchase from my company, all the data collected stays secure within the system, will not be sold to other company’s and wont be used for purposes other than the one used to collect the data.

far to general.. greater depth is needed in your discussion of how privacy relates to the data in your database.
