Description: The Information Lifecycle refers to the stages through which information passes, from its creation to its deletion. This cycle encompasses several phases, including creation, collection, storage, use, distribution, archiving, and deletion of data. Each of these stages is crucial to ensure that information is managed effectively and securely. Data governance focuses on the management and control of information, ensuring it is used ethically and in compliance with regulations. Data visualization allows for the transformation of complex information into understandable graphical representations, facilitating decision-making. On the other hand, privacy and data protection are essential for safeguarding personal and sensitive information, ensuring it is handled according to current laws and regulations. In a world where information is a valuable resource, understanding and properly managing its lifecycle is fundamental for organizations and individuals.
