Privacy by Design
Privacy
Engineering approach embedding privacy controls into architecture, defaults, and lifecycle processes.
Definition
Privacy by design integrates privacy requirements into system architecture and operations: purpose limitation, minimization, secure defaults, access control, encryption, and lifecycle management (retention/deletion).
In plain English
Engineering approach embedding privacy controls into architecture, defaults, and lifecycle processes.
Why this matters
Why it matters: Early design choices determine data exposure and compliance costs; retrofits are expensive and incomplete.
Example
Example: Design with minimal identifiers, short retention, and privacy-preserving analytics, documented via DPIAs and reviewed in audits.
