Privacy by Design
An approach to systems design that incorporates privacy considerations throughout the development process.
Privacy by Design is a concept that ensures privacy and data protection are integral parts of the system design. It is not an afterthought but a fundamental aspect of the development process.
This approach requires that privacy be considered proactively, from the initial stages of system design and throughout the entire lifecycle, embedding privacy features by default.
Privacy by Design is a key principle in many compliance frameworks, including GDPR, and is often a requirement for handling personal data.
