Nowadays, the vast majority of people use the Internet in order to satisfy their needs, as well as to be benefited from the services provided through it. The individuals’ reliance on online platforms and applications has grown increasingly over the years, and people are using a great deal of platforms and services for many different purposes, including learning, entertainment, and socialization. The increasing progress of information and communication systems is making people's lives easier, faster, and more efficient. However, rapid technological development often induces enormous challenges to the privacy of the individuals, as many institutions, businesses or organizations collect, store, and share personal data with third parties, mainly without the knowledge of its owners, to achieve their objectives and their interests.
Over the last few years, the collection, retention, usage, and transmission of personal data have been out of control by services and businesses. The General Data Protection Regulation has stipulated a variety of privacy principles which must be observed when processing personal data. In addition, in order to protect and maintain the privacy of the individuals, and prevent data breach incidents, appropriate privacy measures, as well as privacy-enhancing technologies, should be applied to systems and services that interact with personal data.
