Data and Information Privacy

Data privacy isn't a compliance checkbox—it's a design principle. This beginner course builds your foundation: the core principles, how global regulations (GDPR, CCPA, and others) enforce them, and the technical and organizational practices that actually protect data.

You'll learn to classify data by sensitivity, manage it through its lifecycle, apply encryption and anonymization, and run a Privacy Impact Assessment. The course covers both protecting Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and Protected Health Information (PHI), so you're prepared for regulated and unregulated contexts.
