Privacy by design
Building privacy protection into a product or process from the start
What's it for?
Makes privacy part of a product from the beginning so problems do not need expensive fixes later.

A new customer portal collects only the personal data needed for the service and sets sensible deletion rules during design, rather than adding privacy controls after launch.
Think of it like…
Designing a kitchen with a fire door and extractor, instead of buying extinguishers after the first blaze
