What are Common Risks in Epidemiological Data Processing?
Some common risks in epidemiological data processing include:
- Data Breaches: Unauthorized access to sensitive health information can have severe consequences for individuals. - Re-identification: Even anonymized data can sometimes be re-identified, compromising privacy. - Data Misuse: Personal health data could be used for purposes other than those originally intended, such as commercial exploitation. - Legal Non-compliance: Failure to comply with data protection regulations can result in legal penalties and loss of public trust.
