Transport plays a vital role in economic growth and globalization because it enables
trade, communication and exchange important information between people. In the world full of
technology, Information privacy also plays an important role in the company especially in the
transportation sector (Soumelidou and Tsohou, 2021). Information privacy is the relationship
between the overall collection and dissemination of technology, important information, data and
the legal issues surrounding them. Data protection is very important in the business to avoid any
kind of fraudulent. Nowadays, data privacy is crucial part for the companies since it attempts to
utilize important information while protecting an individual's privacy preferences and personal
details such as name, bills details, identity of customer, address, bank details, financial data,
intellectual property and KYC documents. Glendale Transport UK Ltd needs to focus on
information privacy laws in order to avoid any kind of uncertainty and fraud cases.
In today's' business environment, in many cases customers personal details stolen and
sold illegally via electronic payment and many more. Hackers are obtaining the private data from
the computer system of a local transportation information service provider such as date of birth
and name of customers. Glendale Transport UK Ltd should clearly follow privacy laws to avoid
theft.

Characteristics
Data protection and information privacy is key to ensuring safety, self-determination and
human dignity. There are many types of technical security services and strategies which are
provided by commercially available security mechanisms that can be integrated into
communications systems. Information of customer is valuable because of few characteristics
which includes:
Confidentiality- It ensures that detailed information is accessible to only an authorized
user. An information privacy says that it is essential to protect the sensitive data of people from
reaching the wrong hands. In the world of technology, where everything is available at fingure
tips, privacy protection must be taken into consideration. Nowadays, companies are using
encryption and network security to follow this property effectively and keep data private.
Integrity- Information security includes policy setting that prevent unauthorized person
from accessing detailed information about business. Integrity ensures that information about
customers is reliable and accurate and is not modified incorrectly whether intentionally or
unintentionally while stored except by authorized users.
Completeness- Information must be complete if the decision maker can easily solve the
issues at hand using that detailed data. If the information is wrong and not timely delivered then
accuracy cannot be maintained.
safety- since transportation moves products or services along transit systems and public
roads, it may seem odd to be concerned about the data protection in the world of technology. It is
important to have route guidance to drivers, collecting driver information is essential. Driver in
the transportation sector needs to have training on incident management for the safety of data.
Availability- nowadays, in the transportation sector, fraud cases are increasing because of
high technology. Availability is the protection of data ability to make software system available
when a user needs it. The major purpose of availability is to make the technology infrastructure,
information available when they are needed for the process of company and its clients. For
example- Glendale Transport UK Ltd should keep all the software and hardware up to date and
keep back up for information so that it can be available whenever they need it.
Relevance- It has been said that the information and data must be relevant in nature
because wrong details will create issues and create fraud cases in the transportation sector.
