Are we using metadata that could reveal personal data or behavior patterns?
Are we using metadata that could reveal personal data or behavior patterns?
- Metadata provides descriptive attributes of other data, such as date, time, author, file size, or geolocation.
- Although metadata may seem innocuous, it is often considered personal data under privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR) and can contain sensitive information. Misusing or failing to protect metadata can lead to privacy violations and unintended risks, especially if it reveals identifiable information.
If you answered Yes then you are at risk
If you are not sure, then you might be at risk too
Recommendations
- Ensure that your use of metadata complies with applicable privacy regulations by verifying whether the data can be lawfully processed for your intended purpose.
- Audit and verify metadata sources to confirm their accuracy and legitimacy.
- Implement anonymization or pseudonymization techniques to minimize privacy risks while using metadata.
- Limit the collection of metadata to only what is strictly necessary for the model, adhering to the principle of data minimization.
