Assessment Overview
In this assessment, you will create a comprehensive plan for ethical data collection, governance, and privacy management for a company of your choice. Your plan should address ethical data handling and collection, the role of federated learning in enhancing data security (supposing that you were dealing with data related to innovation), and a detailed privacy response plan in the event of a data breach.
The purpose of this assessment is to demonstrate your understanding of privacy laws, ethical considerations in data handling, and the application of federated learning to ensure privacy and accuracy in data usage. Get online assignment help now!

Data privacy best practices
Industry-specific challenges
Regulatory requirements
Security frameworks

Effective vs. Ineffective AI Prompts
"Write a data privacy plan"
"Give me a data breach response plan"
"Tell me about GDPR"
"Write my report about data security"
These prompts ask AI to write your content instead of helping you research and think.
Good Prompts:
"What are the key GDPR requirements that would affect a retail company operating in Europe?"
"What are common data collection challenges in the healthcare industry?"
"List potential privacy risks specific to mobile banking applications"
"Compare federated learning vs traditional machine learning for protecting customer data"
"What are industry best practices for communicating data breaches to stakeholders?"
These prompts help you gather specific information that you can analyze and apply to your company.
