Definición

  • Electronic privacy is the protection of individuals from surveillance by government or private agencies via electronic means such as wiretapping, videotaping, or computer surveillance. Many forms of information and data have been converted to electronic formats, and the technology for information gathering has increased exponentially in the computer era because of the amount of information recorded on computers, the ability to gather and store this information, and the techniques available to retrieve it.
