| Question | Answer |
| Privacy | Photographs that are uploaded to social networks often legally become the property of the website, which means the website becomes the owner of the data soon as you upload them. |
| Sharing | There are piracy laws protecting the distribution of films and other media., and to rip a copyrighted DVD or CD and share it online is illegal. However, peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing networks and hosting websites mean it is easy to share files with anybody in the world. |
| Hacking - Negative use | 'Hacking' refers to any activity which makes unusual use of, or attempts to break, a computer system. It can be used for negative purposes such as looking for weaknesses in systems to access or steal private data. |
| Hacking - Positive use | 1. Creatively exploring new ways of using a program or computer 2. Working around bugs in code 3. Exposing security risks in software and websites, and warning the general public 4. Testing the security of a system |
| The Hackers | Hackers who attempt to do good things through hacking are called 'white hats'. Hackers that carry out criminal activity are called 'black hats'. |
| Data Protection Act (DPA) | The act sets out principles that govern: · who can access data · The accuracy and validity of data · Selling data · Removal of data |
| Breaches of data protection | For example.. NHS Surrey was fined £200,000 for selling a computer that contained patients' personal records without first destroying the data on the hard drive. |
| Sharing data online | When we use personalised websites requiring logins, such as social media, we often add data about ourselves. When we sign up to these sites we are agreeing to share a certain amount of personal data with the provider. |
| The use of our personal data | Our personal data can be valuable to companies, eg advertising companies spend lots of money seeking better ways to target at the right users. Being able to see information such as your gender, birthday, buying habits can be very useful for marketing purposes. |
