Description: Privacy testing evaluates how well a system protects its users’ privacy. These tests are fundamental in a digital environment where the collection and handling of personal data are increasingly common. Through various techniques and tools, privacy testing analyzes a software’s ability to comply with data protection regulations, such as GDPR in Europe or CCPA in California. It focuses on identifying vulnerabilities that could allow unauthorized access to sensitive information, as well as verifying that data is handled according to established privacy policies. Privacy testing is not limited to technical security; it also considers aspects such as transparency in communication with users about how their data is used. In a world where user trust is crucial, these tests have become an essential component of the software development lifecycle, ensuring that applications are not only functional but also responsible in handling personal information.
