Privacy by Design Awards findings and insights

“Privacy by Design is about considering data protection and privacy issues upfront in everything you do. It can help you ensure that you comply with the UK GDPR’s fundamental principles and requirements, and forms part of the focus on accountability.“

– UK Information Commissioner’s Office

“Privacy by Design aims to build data protection and privacy into the design of processing operations and information systems, in order to comply with data protection principles.“

– European Data Protection Supervisor

“Privacy by Design takes the view that the future of privacy in a digitally driven society cannot be assured solely by compliance with regulatory frameworks; rather, privacy assurance must ideally become an organization’s default mode of operation.“

– Office of the Privacy Commissioner, NZ

“Privacy by Design is a process for embedding good privacy practices into the design specifications of technologies, business practices and physical infrastructures. This means building privacy into the design specifications and architecture of new systems and processes.“

– Office of the Australian Information Commissioner
