Ethical-Decisions 2
Introduction
Privacy, trust, and data security are intertwined according to ethics and laws. Personal
information is so important for a person. It cannot be used by anyone without the information to
that person. It is an ethical thing to secure personal information to every person. Privacy
protection provisions rely on trust. Security providers are provided grantee to their data.
Violation of data security is also a crime, as per the security laws (DesJardins, 2014).
This report will explain about the data security issues and ethical issues related to the personal
information of citizens. Privacy of personal data is a right of a person. This report will describe
about the personal information of one million Australian citizens added to giant marketing
database without any information to them. In the later section of this report, it will explain about
ethical decision making with the help of moral philosophies. Privacy advocates are disappointed
from data breaches. Public sector organizations are authorized to access personal data and they
are having control on that data (Bagshaw, 2019).
Background information
Australian peoples are provides their data to the electoral board for voting. It is a process of
government to collect data of citizens for voting. All the Australians are registered on the
electoral roll system for voting at different levels. In addition, more than one million name and
addresses of Australians have in electoral roll system. Thereafter, that data is passed to marketing
giants without any information to them. That was not ethical as per the laws and regulations
(Chen & Zhao, 2012).
According to The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age that illion, Global Data, AXCIOM and
Experian are having access of Electoral Roll databases, as they are prescribed authorities in
Australia. They all have their secondary businesses in which they used data for data analytics for
business with the full compliance with the privacy act. They are highly strict to do not use the
electoral commission data for marketing purposes (Crane & Matten, 2016).
