Data Privacy and Information Handling at Work

About Course

Data privacy awareness helps people handle information with care throughout its lifecycle. Learn to ask why information is needed, who may access it, and how it should be shared or retained. The course uses common workplace situations involving email, shared drives, customer records, and AI tools.

Follow a beginner-friendly path through five modules and 15 lesson outlines. Each lesson identifies three focused study topics, helping you connect the ideas to practical decisions in your own setting.

Course Project: Map the information flow for a fictional business process and create a practical handling checklist with access, retention, and incident-reporting questions.

Scope of This Course: This awareness course does not replace site-specific training, licensed professional advice, emergency services, or legally required certification. Practical system changes and response actions require appropriate authorization.
