Description: The Data Usage Policy refers to a set of guidelines that dictate how information can be accessed and used within an organization. These policies are essential to ensure that data is handled ethically and legally, protecting user privacy and complying with current regulations. In the context of cloud computing, these policies ensure that data stored on external servers is treated with the same rigor as if it were on the organization’s premises. Regarding security in IoT (Internet of Things), the data usage policy focuses on how data generated by connected devices is collected, stored, and used, ensuring that appropriate security measures are implemented to protect sensitive information. Clarity in these policies not only helps prevent misuse of data but also fosters trust between users and the organization, establishing a framework of responsibility and transparency in data handling.
