INTRODUCTION
Ethics in current time is considered as the most prominent aspect which is required to be
followed by every business entity and law enforcement agencies. In this aspect data is regarded
as highly crucial which is held by every person or organisation in secured manner so that to
avoid any adverse impact to personal life or business entity (Arnott and et. al, 2020). In the
emerging trend of digital media people are storing there data on various tools such as clouds and

Data is regarded as the crucial information which may create several disturbances and
interruptions in people lives. So this is imperative that restricted access are to be given so that
information of personal aspect could not be leaked but at the same time enforcement agencies get
