Episode 16 — Fiduciary Duty: Duties of Care, Loyalty, and Good Faith in Privacy Contexts

Fiduciary duty, long established in corporate and financial contexts, is increasingly applied to data stewardship. This episode introduces the three core fiduciary duties: care, loyalty, and good faith. We discuss how these principles require organizations to protect personal data responsibly, avoid conflicts of interest, and act transparently. While not always codified in privacy law, fiduciary concepts influence how regulators and courts evaluate corporate behavior.

We’ll also look at examples where fiduciary-like duties are explicitly applied, such as in financial services and health care. Understanding these principles prepares you for exam scenarios where ethical responsibility and legal obligation overlap. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com
