What is Privacy by Design?
Building privacy into a product from the start: less data, clear uses and real control.
What you learn
Collect only the personal data the value really needs.
When it helps
a product collects more data than it needs, or people can’t tell how it’s used.
Use it at work
- List every piece of personal data you collect.
- Write the value each one delivers.
- Remove what delivers none, and keep the rest only as long as needed.
- Tell people plainly how their data is used, and let them change it.
Your output
For one form in your product, mark each field with the value it delivers. Remove the fields that deliver none.
Watch for
Collecting data in case it’s useful, or burying how it’s used.
