ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Data privacy

Data privacy means that information about you, like your name, address, and phone number, is kept private and not shared with anyone without your permission. Imagine a giant lockbox. This lockbox contains all the personal information about you, such as your name, address, phone number, and other sensitive information. It is your job to keep this lockbox closed, only letting certain people see what is inside if you give them permission. That way, no one can use your information without your say-so. Data privacy helps keep you safe and secure!
