Information privacy

Information privacy means keeping your personal information private. It can be things like your name, address, phone number, or medical information. Nobody else should be able to see or use this information without your permission. You can help protect your information privacy by being careful about who you share it with. For example, if someone asks for your Social Security number, make sure you know why they need it first. It's also important to be careful about the websites you visit and the emails you open, because you don't want to be tricked into giving away your personal information.
