Answer 1

Answer 1)

There are a number of places where personal data can be stored. The most common place is to store it in a database and another place would be to store it in our local system. Another best and famous these days is to store data in the cloud such as dropbox which can be accessed from anywhere and from any device.

The implication of storing the same data in many different places leads to the wastage of memory as the same copy of data is being stored in different database and also different databases use different methods to store and retrieve data from database and thus we must have knowledge of working with the database where we are storing our data.

There could be a number of risks involved in storing data in the database are data leaks in which hackers can capture data packets from database networking interface and then can exploit. To overcome this we can use different secure encryption techniques.
