Abstract
Privacy law can be a nebulous concept, but in an era of big data and digitization, it’s one that is of crucial importance to the public sector.
Organizations operating in the public sector have a special responsibility, as they provide services to society that often necessitate collecting, analyzing, and presenting findings based on the personal information of private citizens.
