Freedom and Freedom of Expression: Data protection and privacy are crucial to freedom of speech and expression. When people fear that their activities are being monitored, they may hesitate to express their thoughts and opinions openly.

Trust in digital services:  To gain and maintain public trust in digital services and online platforms, companies and organizations must ensure that their users' data is kept secure and confidential.
