unwarranted discrepancies in law enforcement.” Day in 2023
V. “Privacy breaches can lead to reputational damage and compromise professional relationships.
Maintaining data privacy is crucial for individuals and businesses to preserve their reputations
and maintain trust with clients, customers, and partners.” GRAFFERSID in 2023
