A Paragraph using the 5 vocabulary words

Online privacy is a growing concern as individuals increasingly share personal information online. Consent is a fundamental principle, ensuring users have control over their data. However, tracking technologies often collect data without explicit consent, raising privacy concerns. Data breaches can expose sensitive information, leading to identity theft and financial loss. Anonymity allows users to interact online without revealing their true identity, while encryption protects data by scrambling it, making it difficult for unauthorized individuals to access. Understanding these concepts is essential for protecting online privacy and navigating the digital landscape responsibly.
