Privacy by Design

What is Privacy by Design?

Privacy by design is an approach to systems engineering that integrates privacy protections into the development of products and services from the very beginning. Instead of being an afterthought, privacy is treated as a core functional requirement.

Why It Matters

• It ensures that privacy is the default setting for users, rather than an optional choice.

• It reduces the risk of data breaches by minimizing the amount of sensitive data collected.

• It builds trust with users by demonstrating that their privacy is a priority.

• It helps organizations comply with regulations that mandate proactive data protection.
