Sensitive Data Protection
Sensitive data is the personal information that causes the most harm if exposed, such as health records, financial details, government IDs, biometrics and children’s data. The GDPR sets stricter rules for these special categories, the CCPA gives users control over sensitive personal information, and India’s DPDP Act adds duties for children’s data and breach reporting. Protecting it means classifying data, collecting only what you need, encrypting it and restricting access.
