Proactive, Preventative Approach
The first principle emphasizes the anticipation and prevention of potential privacy invasions, rather than
waiting for them to occur and offering remedial measures afterwards. This approach adopts a
preventative attitude towards privacy risks, rather than addressing them after they have taken place. In
essence, Privacy by Design aims to stop privacy infractions from happening in the first place, rather than
reacting after the fact.
Privacy as Default Setting
The second principle, aims to provide the highest level of privacy protection by integrating privacy
measures into all aspects of IT systems and business practices. Regardless of the individual's actions,
their privacy is protected by default through the implementation of privacy-focused design and
architecture. This means that personal data is automatically shielded from potential privacy breaches,
eliminating the need for individuals to take any extra steps to safeguard their privacy.
