Enhanced 9-1-1Enhanced 911 (E-911 or E911) is a system used in North America to automatically provide the caller's location to 911 dispatchers. 911 is the universal emergency telephone number in the region. In the European Union, a similar system exists known as E112 (where 112 is the emergency access number) and known as eCall when called by a vehicle. An incoming 911 call is routed to a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP), which is a call center operated by the local government.
Privacy settingsPrivacy settings are "the part of a social networking website, internet browser, piece of software, etc. that allows you to control who sees information about you". With the growing prevalence of social networking services, opportunities for privacy exposures also grow. Privacy settings allow a person to control what information is shared on these platforms. Many social networking services (SNS) such as Facebook, have default privacy settings that leave users more prone to sharing personal information.
Privacy concerns with social networking servicesSince the arrival of early social networking sites in the early 2000s, online social networking platforms have expanded exponentially, with the biggest names in social media in the mid-2010s being Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat. The massive influx of personal information that has become available online and stored in the cloud has put user privacy at the forefront of discussion regarding the database's ability to safely store such personal information.
Information sensibleUne information sensible est une information ou une connaissance qui, si elle est révélée au public, nuirait aux entités qu'elle concerne. La perte, l'utilisation à mauvais escient, la modification ou l'accès non autorisé à une information sensible peut affecter défavorablement la vie privée d'un individu, un échange commercial, ou même la sécurité d'une nation. L'impact est relatif au niveau, à la sensibilité et à la nature de l'information. Habilitation de sécurité en France Sécurité de l'information Inf
Privacy lawPrivacy law is the body of law that deals with the regulating, storing, and using of personally identifiable information, personal healthcare information, and financial information of individuals, which can be collected by governments, public or private organisations, or other individuals. It also applies in the commercial sector to things like trade secrets and the liability that directors, officers, and employees have when handing sensitive information.
Pistage webLe pistage web, pistage utilisateur, ou encore traçage web (en anglais : web tracking), est la pratique ou la technique par laquelle un site web collecte, enregistre et partage des informations sur les activités d'un individu sur le World Wide Web. L'analyse de ces activités (ou l'identification du visiteur) permet de fournir des contenus adaptés aux préférences du visiteur mais c'est aussi une donnée qui peut intéresser différents acteurs du web.
ÉpidémieUne épidémie désigne l'augmentation rapide d'une maladie en un lieu donné sur un moment donné. Selon son étymologie grecque (Demos signifiant peuple), ce mot s'applique initialement aux maladies touchant les humains ; si la maladie s'étend rapidement à une part importante de la planète, on parle alors de pandémie. Bien qu'il soit inapproprié, le mot est souvent utilisé dans le langage courant pour parler des maladies touchant des groupes d'animaux (zoonoses).
Web mobileLe Web Mobile ou Webmobile est une technique qui permet d'accéder à Internet depuis un téléphone mobile, on parle alors de l'Internet Mobile et des smartphones. Le web mobile se matérialise notamment par l'utilisation de navigateurs sur téléphones mobiles ou d'applications pour Smartphones mais aussi par des widgets, la consultation de mails de façon instantanée... C'est l'évolution des équipements, des usages et des forfaits de téléphone mobile qui ont permis le démarrage du web mobile.
Automatic Vehicle LocationAutomatic vehicle location (AVL or ~locating; telelocating in EU) is a means for automatically determining and transmitting the geographic location of a vehicle. This vehicle location data, from one or more vehicles, may then be collected by a vehicle tracking system to manage an overview of vehicle travel. As of 2017, GPS technology has reached the point of having the transmitting device be smaller than the size of a human thumb (thus easier to conceal), able to run 6 months or more between battery charges, easy to communicate with smartphones (merely requiring a duplicate SIM card from one's mobile phone carrier in most cases) — all for less than $20 USD.
Mathematical modelling of infectious diseasesMathematical models can project how infectious diseases progress to show the likely outcome of an epidemic (including in plants) and help inform public health and plant health interventions. Models use basic assumptions or collected statistics along with mathematics to find parameters for various infectious diseases and use those parameters to calculate the effects of different interventions, like mass vaccination programs. The modelling can help decide which intervention(s) to avoid and which to trial, or can predict future growth patterns, etc.
