Background of the Study
As the volume of data generated by businesses increases, the importance of data privacy and ethical handling of personal information becomes paramount. IT ethics play a critical role in ensuring that businesses protect customer data from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Data privacy laws, such as GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), emphasize the ethical responsibility of businesses to secure personal data (Cohen & Morrison, 2024). This study will explore the role of IT ethics in data privacy protection in businesses operating in Kebbi State.
Statement of the Problem
Businesses in Kebbi State may struggle with understanding and implementing ethical practices related to data privacy protection. Despite the existence of data privacy laws, many organizations lack robust ethical frameworks to guide their handling of personal data, which can lead to violations of privacy rights and loss of customer trust. This study aims to investigate the role of IT ethics in ensuring data privacy protection in these businesses.
