How are privacy and data protection related to each other?

According to DSCI Privacy Framework and aligned literature, data protection primarily deals with the operational and technical safeguards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of personal data. Privacy is a broader concept encompassing the right of individuals to control their personal information, including legal, social, and ethical dimensions.

Thus, data protection is considered a subset or enabler of the broader right to privacy, supporting its implementation by managing risks related to data handling and security.
