Privacy by Design is an approach to developing systems, products, and services where privacy and data protection are integrated from the very beginning, rather than being added later as an afterthought. This means considering privacy at every stage of the design process, from initial planning to deployment and maintenance. The goal is to proactively prevent privacy breaches and ensure that personal data is handled responsibly, giving users greater control over their information. By making privacy a core principle, organizations can build trust and comply with regulations more effectively.
