9. 9
 Information privacy is the notion that individuals should have the
freedom or right to determine how their digital information is
collected and used.
 Every country has various laws that dictate how information may be
collected and used by companies.
 Some of those laws are written to give agency to the preferences of
individuals/consumers in how their data is used.

 Ethiopia has been enacting various pieces of legislation, since
recently, to regulate some aspects of the digital environment.
 The Cybercrime Proclamation of 2016 (Computer Crime
Proclamation No.958/2016) is the most recent addition to the
legal regime that criminalizes a range of cybercrimes.

11. 11
 Communication privacy is the notion that individuals should have
the freedom or right to communicate information digitally with
the expectation that their communications are secure; meaning
that messages and communications will only be accessible to the
sender's original and intended recipient.

 Communication attack types:
 Denial-of-service (DoS) and distributed denial-of-
service (DDoS) attacks

 Individual privacy is the notion that individuals have a right to
exist freely on the internet, in that they can choose what types of
information they are exposed to, and more importantly that
unwanted information should not interrupt them.
 Example: an internet user receiving unwanted ads and
emails/spam, or a computer virus that forces the user to take
actions they otherwise wouldn't.

16. 16
 Data Minimization: collect the minimal amount of information
necessary from individuals and businesses
 Transparency: Notice covering the purpose of the collection and
use of identifiable information will be provided in a clear manner.
• Information collected will not be used for any other purpose
unless authorized or mandated by law.

17. 17
 Accuracy: Information collected will be maintained accurately
and timely.
 Security: implement physical and IT security measures to ensure
that the collection, use, and maintenance of identifiable
information are properly safeguarded.
