Researchers could use the information from PrivacyRights.org to learn more about data breaches. Using the info that’s available on the site, they can see what countries have the most breaches, what companies have the most breaches, what type of data is most commonly breached, what times of the year most data breaches occur, and other trends. Researchers can also see what’s being done to help prevent data breaches. For example, they can see what companies are doing to stop breaches, or what laws are being made to help protect information. They can also see what laws already exist to protect personal information or prevent data breaches. For example, a lot of information is available about the laws in California that are designed to protect consumer information.
