Abstract: This chapter discusses challenges raised by concerns about ensuring long-term access to digital resources verses data confidentiality and balancing the right level of data security that addresses compliance requirements in the context of libraries and cultural heritage institutions. Many horizon technologies will soon affect library patron data privacy and confidentiality. Academic libraries are often the location in which such sensitive data, information, and knowledge is digitally preserved. Dichotomously opposed to such data, information, and knowledge breaches, most cultural heritage institutions, such as libraries, adhere to valuing the utmost guarantees of privacy and confidentiality for their patrons. Such strong dedication to privacy and confidentiality is exemplified in international library policy and is further reflected in international law. In most modern libraries, privacy is balanced with an effort to ensure global access to information to as many individuals as possible.
