Internet[1] Privacy represents a vital component in the digital world, focusing on the protection of users’ private details. It involves the management of personal data collection and its application. The importance of this concept has surged with the rise and development of the Internet and mobile networks. It encompasses numerous aspects such as safeguarding personal space, choice, and data. At the heart of Internet privacy lies the user’s ability to regulate the exposure of their personal information. It highlights the dangers and risks associated with online tracking for personalized ads, data gathering through social media and online transactions, and harmful actions like spyware. Furthermore, it discusses legal regulations, anonymity, and the effects of online conduct. Various technologies leveraged for online tracking and their respective privacy issues are also included in its scope. Internet privacy is a continually evolving, critical field that adapts to new technologies and threats.

Définitions des termes
1. Internet ( Internet ) L'internet, réseau mondial de systèmes informatiques interconnectés, utilise des protocoles de communication normalisés, principalement TCP/IP, pour connecter des appareils à travers le monde. Le terme "Internet" trouve son origine dans le terme "internetted" de 1849 et a été adopté par le ministère américain de la guerre en 1945. L'origine de l'internet remonte aux années 1960, lorsque des informaticiens ont mis au point des systèmes de partage du temps, qui ont finalement abouti à la création d'ARPANET en 1969. L'internet fonctionne de manière autonome, sans aucun contrôle central, et l'Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) gère ses espaces de noms primaires. Il a révolutionné les méthodes de communication traditionnelles et a connu une croissance exponentielle, le nombre d'internautes augmentant de 20% à 50% chaque année. En 2019, plus de la moitié de la population mondiale utilisait l'internet. La suite de protocoles internet, qui comprend le protocole TCP/IP et quatre couches conceptuelles, dirige les paquets internet vers leur destination.

Vie privée sur Internet involves the right or mandate of personal privacy concerning the storage, re-purposing, provision to third parties, and display of information pertaining to oneself via the Internet. Internet privacy is a subset of data privacy. Privacy concerns have been articulated from the beginnings of large-scale computer sharing and especially relate to mass surveillance.

Privacy can entail either personally identifiable information (PII) or non-PII information such as a site visitor's behavior on a website. PII refers to any information that can be used to identify an individual. For example, age and physical address alone could identify who an individual is without explicitly disclosing their name, as these two factors are unique enough to identify a specific person typically. Other forms of PII may include GPS tracking data used by apps, as the daily commute and routine information can be enough to identify an individual.

It has been suggested that the "appeal of online services is to broadcast personal information on purpose." On the other hand, in his essay "The Value of Privacy", sécurité expert Bruce Schneier says, "Privacy protects us from abuses by those in power, even if we're doing nothing wrong at the time of surveillance."
