Two obvious key ethical issues that arise when storing electronic information about individuals are, of course, privacy, and confidentiality. I believe that these two pretty much always go hand-in-hand considering privacy is more centered around the people involved and who all has access or knows certain information. Meanwhile, confidentialities are more centered around the data itself, and who else is able to see and access it. A third key ethical issue that also rises when storing electronic information about individuals is security. Security in itself is always in the conversation when it comes to doing anything in real life and online and all aspects of life. However, when it comes to security, all parties involved, need to make sure that the information and data is protected and is constantly in good hands at all times. It is pretty much a universal and unspoken trust and responsibility that is incorporated to the handoff of personal and private data. If a hacker or intruder, or able to breach and access the information, it not only puts the entire system at risk well also damaging the corporation or organizations, credibility and trustworthiness, it mainly impacts. The victim, whose information is being accessed as they are at a higher risk level due to the intruder, being able to copy and steal their personal information, and potentially using it for unauthorized and unknown means. The fourth crucial ethical issue that arises when storing electronic information about individuals includes that of data, inaccuracy. Data inaccuracies in themselves regard around the consistency and wholeness of all collected data. For the data to be pure itself, it must be free from any type of tampering and it’s truest nature while also being error free. The more whole the data is, the more accurate the data will be as the lower percentage of errors represents and indicates a higher data quality.
