Data protection is a topic concerning data that should be protected from disclosure, damage, or unauthorised access, due to its sensitive nature.
Sensitive data includes not only personal and commercial data, but also information about e.g. localisation of endangered biological species that could be exploited.
Note that the term information security (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_security) covers both the data management aspect for protected data (this topic_4044), and the technical aspect of cybersecurity (topic_4045).
