Data Protection Dictionary (Jargon)

This Data Protection (Jargon) Dictionary is a section of a financial regulatory dictionary. And it has a specific regulation. The language of the financial regulatory field is complex and an entry barrier to understanding its regulation. This work is informative and lacking in scientific character. It is only an approach that facilitates access to a complex subject. This same work and this particular section are available in Spanish.
