Researchers can use the data available on privacyrights.org to conduct many different studies. The data available begins with regional and local occurrences, then is further broken down by even more categories. Those categories include things such as; the type of breach, the type of organization or business the breach occurred with, and number of people or accounts affected. With these details alone, researchers can make many various conclusion about how privacy breaches occur. If a good portion of breaches occur more in one industry over another, maybe the standards of that industry are not good enough. If one company has more breaches than another company with-in the same industry, maybe one of the companies is not following the data protection standards. Maybe a specific region has an unusually large number of data breaches, and they find all those affected get services from a specific service provider, researchers can dig deeper and see what that provider is doing differently, or what hardware they are using and identify how those data breaches are occurring. Appropriately manipulating the data can paint a very detailed picture for researchers.
