Privacy issues refer to the concerns and problems that arise when personal information is collected, stored, or shared without a person's knowledge or consent. In the context of computing and technology, privacy issues often involve the inappropriate use of personal data by websites, apps, social media platforms, or even hackers. This can include sharing someone's private details with others, tracking their online activities, or selling their information to companies for marketing. For students studying GCSE Computer Science, understanding privacy issues is important because it helps them learn about the importance of protecting personal data and recognising the risks involved in using digital technologies.
