Unclassified data does not necessarily mean it will not affect government missions; it simply indicates that the information is not classified for national security reasons. However, unclassified data can still be sensitive or critical to operations, and its misuse or mishandling could potentially impact government missions. Therefore, while unclassified, it still requires careful management and protection.
