Data Privacy

In the context of aviation, data privacy refers to the ethical and legal handling of data related to aviation operations, which includes but is not limited to passenger information, flight data, and maintenance records. This involves the protection of sensitive information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction. In aviation, data privacy is crucial for maintaining the trust of passengers, crew, and other stakeholders. It also plays a significant role in ensuring the security of aviation operations. Violations of data privacy can lead to serious consequences, including legal penalties and damage to an airline's reputation. Therefore, airlines and other aviation entities must implement robust data privacy policies and practices. These may include data encryption, access controls, and regular audits. Furthermore, they must comply with various data privacy laws and regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union.
