The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is often known as the ''European privacy law''. What is the relationship between 'privacy' and 'data protection'?

BData protection is a part of privacy that aims to keep personal data confidential.

CThe two terms have the same meaning. They are synonyms.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

Data protection and privacy are complementary, but not the same thing.

A very repeated phrase is: ''It is possible to have security without privacy, but it is not possible to have privacy without security''.

Privacy is a right that must be protected, and Data Protection are the measures that will be used to achieve this protection.

C can't be correct. Privacy and data protection may be related, but they definitely don't have the same meaning.
