Abstract

In the modern world, in order to receive services from the government and non-governmental organizations, a person must provide them access to his personal information. This disclosure of private data only extends to the date of his birth. A birth certificate requires the following information to be disclosed: name, location and date of birth, parent names and ages, etc. Both public and private educational institutions demand the same personal information in order to admit students.

Furthermore, the deceased individual lives on in the digital realm since personal data may be kept on computers indefinitely. Private service companies retain more personal data about each individual than do government records. A person interacts with private service providers more often than with governmental organizations. An individual divulges his personal information to private service providers as part of his daily routine in order to do a variety of tasks, such as watching television, using a smartphone, browsing the internet, shopping online or off, traveling, touring, social networking, eating, drinking, writing, speaking, and so on. Private service providers save a lot of personal data and utilize it for their own business endeavours. People, on the other hand, virtually ever know why such vast amounts of data have been gathered or whether they will be utilized for the intended goals. Throughout history, both public and private organizations have gathered and utilized people's personal data for their intended uses
