/DAY-tuh/

Also known as: information, digital data

Last updated September 16, 2026

Definition

Data is recorded information a computer can store or process — numbers, text, photos, location, or voice. Privacy questions start with whose data it is and who else can read it.

Real-World Example

A phone gallery of photos is personal data; a spreadsheet of class scores is data about students.
