10. Relation Between Privacy and Security
PRIVACY IS ABOUT SAFEGUARDING THE USER
WHEREAS SECURITY IS ABOUT PROTECTION
OF DATA
PRIVACY CANNOT EXIST WITHOUT SECURITY
WHEREAS SECURITY CAN EXIST WITHOUT
PRIVACY.

11. Concerns
Health care: protection of patient
records

details and chat history of users

12. Conclusion
• The term Information privacy and security are
closely related, where privacy cannot exist
without security whereas security can exist
without privacy.
• The threats of information can be from hackers,
vulnerabilities in software, lack of transparency
in privacy policies, collection of unnecessary
data, personal data sharing, data transfer over
insecure channels etc.
