## How do the Privacy & Data Protection modules help organizations?

Adaptive's Privacy and Data Protection modules educate employees on how to handle sensitive information properly and comply with data privacy laws. They cover fundamental best practices like not sharing personal data with unauthorized parties, using encryption or secure channels when transmitting data, and safely storing or disposing of records. They also explain key concepts of regulations such as GDPR or CCPA – for instance, what "personal data" is, why consent and data minimization matter, and how to recognize a potential privacy breach. By training employees on these points, organizations reduce the risk of data leaks or non-compliance, since staff learn how to avoid common mistakes (like sending a file with personal details to the wrong recipient) and understand the seriousness of protecting customer and employee information. In essence, the modules help build a culture where data is treated with care, which in turn helps the organization meet its legal obligations and maintain customer trust.
