This is a common question asked by several people and thought I should address it in a few short minutes here. It is by no means not a complete explanation but it will touch on some keep points.

For further information here are some definitions worth mentioning and you can look up the sources for more information...
 
The International Association of Privacy Professionals defines Data Privacy and Protection as follow:
Data Privacy: The appropriate use of personal information under the circumstances. 
Data Protection: The management of personal information

The ISO/IEC 27701 standards defines Data Protection as the implementation of appropriate administrative, technical or physical means to guard against unauthorized intentional or accidental disclosure, modification or destruction of data. 
In addition, ISO/IEC 27001 standards extend into more stringent management of personal identifiable information (PII) or personal data to be accountable to local privacy laws like the GDPR, LDPR, PDPA and other jurisdictions.
