Data Privacy

Simplified

Privacy by Design (PbD)

The 7 Principles of Privacy by Design (PbD)


are foundational guidelines developed by
Dr. Ann Cavoukian to ensure privacy is
integrated into the design and operation
of IT Systems and Business
Process.

These principles help


organizations build trust with their customers
by ensuring that Privacy is a Core of their
operations.

Lets look into these 7 PbD Principles with


some High Level Examples.
Data Privacy
Simplified

Principle 1: Proactive not Reactive,


Preventative not Remedial

Privacy measures should be implemented


to prevent issues rather than fixing them
after a problem occurs or retrofitting any
privacy functionalities just
to adhere to compliance
requirements.

Example: A company regularly conducts


privacy impact assessments during the
development of new products or business
process to identify and mitigate potential
privacy risks during its initial stages.
Data Privacy
Simplified

Principle 2: Privacy as the Default Setting

Personal data should be protected by


default, without needing the user to take
additional action.
OFF

Example: A social media platform sets user


profiles to private by default, requiring
users to take action to opt-in to share their
information publicly. A mobile app sets the
optional permissions disabled by default
and allows user to take action to enable it.
Data Privacy
Simplified

Principle 2: Privacy Embedded into


Design

Integrate privacy into the design and


architecture of IT systems and business
process. Privacy should be an integral part
of the product.
PRIVACY

Example: A fitness app encrypts all user


health data by default, ensuring that data
protection is built into the app’s core
functionality.
Data Privacy
Simplified
Principle 4: Full Functionality
– Positive-Sum, not Zero-Sum

Achieve both privacy and security


without compromising
functionality.

Example: A messaging platform which


offers both user-friendly messaging and
strong end-to-end encryption. Users get
both privacy and functionality and there is
no trade-off. An e-commerce website uses
secure payment gateways that protect
user data while still providing a seamless
shopping experience.
Data Privacy
Simplified

Principle 5: End-to-End Security –


Complete Lifecycle Protection

Ensure data is securely managed


throughout its entire lifecycle,
from collection to deletion or
disposal.

Example: A healthcare
provider implements strict access controls
and encryption for patient records,
ensuring data is protected from the
moment it is collected until it is securely
deleted when no longer needed.
Data Privacy
Simplified
Principle 6: Visibility and
Transparency

Maintain transparency about data


practices to end users/cusotmers and
ensure they are verifiable.

Example: A cookie consent


pop-up in a website that
explains what data the site
collects and lets users choose only
mandatory or optional cookies. This
transparency allows users to make
informed decisions about their privacy.
Data Privacy
Simplified

Principle 7: Respect for User


Privacy
Respect user privacy by offering strong
privacy defaults, easy to understand
privacy notice. Users should have control
over their data and how it’s shared.

Example: A mobile app


that provides clear, concise
privacy notices and asks for user
permission before accessing camera,
microphone, or location etc. The app
provides control over what personal data
a user is willing to share.
Data Privacy
Simplified
Data Protection Regulations
and Standards mandates & emphasizes to
implement Privacy by Design (PbD)
principles.

GDPR Article 25: Explicitly mandates


that organizations implement Data
Protection by Design and Data
Protection by Default.
ISO 27701: Incorporates PbD principles to
ensure that privacy is integrated into
the business process.
ISO 31700: New standard for PbD
“Ethical data privacy solutions for an
inclusive and safe digital World”
