Key Privacy by Design Principles
Proactive not Reactive: Anticipate and prevent privacy issues before they
occur

Privacy as the Default Setting: Personal data is automatically protected


without user action

Privacy Embedded into Design: Privacy is integrated into the system, not
added as an afterthought

Full Functionality: Positive-sum approach where both privacy and security


are achieved

End-to-End Security: Full lifecycle protection of data from collection to


deletion

Visibility and Transparency: Keep practices open and visible to users and
providers

Respect for User Privacy: Keep user-centric with strong privacy defaults
and controls

These principles should be considered during system design, development,


and implementation phases to ensure comprehensive privacy protection.
