When storing others information it can be a dangerous game to play because some people are very skeptical about who and where their information goes. The first ethical issue with storing ones information could be the privacy and confidentiality of the information. This is as easy as it sounds in the sense that any and everyone wants their personal information to stay private and with doctors or anyone else they don’t want just anyone having access to that and they try their best to protect that from happening. The second one would be data not being up-to-date and there being a lack of keeping up with ones information, as for some, it is constantly changing. Nearly every time there is some type of confirmation that everything still seems to be the same but there is still a lack in certain instances. The third would be the possibility of security breaches of ones information. As stated before, there is such hesitation when talking about someones completely personal information and there is a fine line with certain companies and offices that people are willing to cross but not everyone needs to know everything and sometimes there are some questionnaires that offices give that dont seem as necessary as the office makes them seem. The fourth would be system implementations and how the consumers may not understand the need of necessity of the updated systems and without reasoning there may be a lack of communication and understanding on possibly both parts. This can end with untrustworthy offices and unhappy consumers. Cybersecurity risks within the US I feel like are much worse than places like China. In fact, I feel that they have created systems to try to steal our information and we let it happen because it satisfies our “needs.” I believe we lack the competence to protect ourselves from others while places like China protects their citizens and their information because they dont want them to fall for the same tricks they play on us.
