Personal data protection

Abstract

Historically, information has played a very significant role in human life, but nowadays with the adoption of Information Technology as an essential part of our daily life, the properties of reliability, integrity and availability become indispensable in our daily activities, can be said to be obligatory for its proper use, and making the best decisions. Being an important asset, the information becomes a very desired object for other individuals or organizations, either for their use that allows them to have legal gains, to have illegal profits or even for non-profit organizations. Therefore, the importance of protecting our personal data takes on a transcendental relevance in this digital age, and Mexico has already taken a very important step by having a law already established in 2010 in this area. There is still much to be done, since policies and laws by themselves do not serve much, as individuals, we must have a culture of protecting our data and helping to spread and raise awareness among the population in general.
