In this lesson, you will learn about “personal information,” one of the especially important topics in information ethics and safety. Rather than simply memorizing terms, aim to explain the system and its reasons in your own words.
Key Point
Because information that can identify an individual may consist of a combination of multiple pieces of information rather than one piece alone, consider the scope of disclosure.

Important Points
- Check the reasons, not just the conclusion

- Try to see whether the same way of thinking can be applied to other examples
Practice
- Explain the key point in two sentences.

- Apply it to a familiar or specific example and check your understanding.
