Cyber privacy is the privacy and security level of personal data published via the Internet. It is a broad term that refers to a variety of factors, techniques and technologies used to protect sensitive and private data, communications, and preferences.

CCyber-Privacy is mostly defined by the services used by individuals. Whatever agreements individuals agree to when they sign up for a service usually signs away their right to privacy. In other cases the reasonable expectation of privacy is not reasonable if the behaviors or communications in question were knowingly exposed to public view.

The Cyber-Privacy Project attempts to raise public awareness and promote the education of Cyber Privacy to prevent crimes from happening.

Privacy protection and cyber security should be thought of as interconnected: as more and more personal information is processed or stored online, privacy protection increasingly relies on effective cyber security implementation by organizations to secure personal data both when it is in transit and at rest.17 In some cases, cyber security measures underpin critical infrastructure that protects data, thereby safeguarding personal information
