The correct answer is Data privacy concerns the proper and lawful handling of personal information while data confidentiality concerns preventing unauthorized access to any sensitive information.

Data privacy focuses on the rights of individuals and on the rules that govern how personal information is collected, used, shared, retained and deleted. It emphasizes legal requirements such as consent, purpose limitation and data subject rights and it requires governance processes, data inventories, contractual controls and policies to meet those obligations.

Data confidentiality is a security property that aims to prevent unauthorized access to information through technical and operational controls. Typical controls include encryption, access control, least privilege, network segmentation and key management, and these controls apply to any sensitive information whether it is personal data or not.

Privacy and confidentiality overlap and confidentiality is one set of controls that supports privacy. Privacy however is broader and also requires legal and procedural measures that go beyond technical access controls.

Data privacy and data confidentiality are simply two names for the same idea is incorrect because the terms refer to related but distinct concerns. Privacy is about lawful handling and individual rights while confidentiality is about preventing unauthorized access.

Data privacy is a compliance responsibility for the customer while data confidentiality is a technical duty for the cloud vendor is incorrect because responsibilities are shared in the cloud. Customers often hold primary privacy obligations but vendors also have obligations and both parties implement confidentiality controls and safeguards.

Data privacy only applies to personally identifiable fields while data confidentiality only applies to encrypted datasets is incorrect because privacy applies to all personal data and not only to specific fields. Confidentiality is enforced by multiple controls and not only by encryption.
