Ethical issues in IT system
In an organization many issues can be occurred in respect of ethics. There are so many
ethical issues that can arise. They are Privacy, Digital ownership, Data Gathering, Security

Privacy is a feature of Information Technology (IT) which deals with the strength of the
organization and also defines what are the data that can be shared with the clients or third parties.
Each and every company has some privacy policy, which can be threatened due to ethical issues.
The digital ideas of any company that can be copied by other company is an ethical issue
of Digital ownership (Van De Walle,Turoff & Hiltz,2014).
Analyze the issues
In this tech growing world each and every person is related with IT. Their data are stored,
manipulated on some IT platforms. Users’ personal information is more reliable than Name,
address. The habits of users, driving record, work history, credit score are also a part of privacy
issues. Privacy is a fundamental right to all the users. If it is harmed by the company at any cost
they might show some disrespect to all the laws. Users’ data, managing information and personal
details should be keep safe by the company. Data are also managed by them. So each and every
user should be concern over their privacy which is an ethical issue of the IT system (Smith &
Wong,2016).In this case the IT platforms performs some tasks to secure users’ data. The
computers of the employee are also being tracked. The platforms has some responsibility to drive
away those issues.
