Data Security and Data Protection Who Controls Your Information

Data Security and Data Protection: Who Controls Your Information?

WHO HAS YOUR DATA?

Every click leaves a trail. A phone records a location, a payment creates a transaction, a website observes behaviour, and an AI system may turn those fragments into a prediction.

This documentary follows personal information through its complete lifecycle: collection, storage, use, sharing, archiving and deletion. It explains the difference between data security, data protection and privacy—and why a system can be technically secure while still using information unfairly.

We examine identity and access management, least privilege, encryption at rest and in transit, TLS, data in use, cryptographic key management, HSMs and FIPS 140-3. The film also covers cloud responsibility, DLP, endpoint protection, backups, data brokers, advertising profiles, AI training, automated decisions and cross-border transfers.

Finally, it looks at rights under the EU and UK GDPR frameworks, changes introduced by the UK's Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, California's CCPA, and what organisations must consider during the first 72 hours of a serious personal-data breach.

Who controls your information? The answer is divided among individuals, organisations, technology companies, governments and markets. Real control depends on purpose, architecture, enforceable rights and an ending for every data journey.
