Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer:
Highest Priority: Privacy by Design (PbD) is a framework that promotes privacy and data protection compliance from the start, emphasizing proactive measures to ensure privacy. The principles of PbD encourage proactive rather than reactive measures, privacy as the default setting, privacy embedded into the design, full functionality – positive-sum, not zero-sum, end-to-end security, visibility and transparency, and respect for user privacy (user-centric). None of the official principles of PbD specifically mentions "highest priority" as a standalone concept. While prioritizing privacy is implicit in the ethos of PbD, it’s not listed as a discrete principle in this framework.
The incorrect answers:
Proactive rather than reactive: PbD emphasizes a proactive approach to privacy protection, anticipating and preventing privacy issues before they occur, rather than reacting to privacy breaches or violations after the fact.
End-to-end security: PbD requires the implementation of strong security measures to protect personal data throughout its entire lifecycle, from collection to destruction. This principle ensures that privacy is protected at every stage of data processing.
User-centric: PbD places the interests and needs of the individual at the forefront. It emphasizes designing systems and practices that respect user privacy, provide users with control over their personal data, and ensure transparency and accountability in data handling practices.
