The Growing Role of Data Privacy Engineering on Technology
Build Trust and Transparency into Your Product Development Cycle
Our Reality
Technology is a big part of daily human interaction and economic life. Businesses have responded with increased digital data collection, processing, and sharing. Technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, the Internet of Things, virtual reality, and facial and biometric recognition all make use of or generate personal data.
The Challenge
The protection of privacy and personal data is essential to autonomy and human dignity. Individuals have a right to a personal sphere where they can freely develop their personalities, think, and shape opinions. An increase in privacy and data protection laws and regulations requires organizations to take action in ensuring data privacy for their users.
Protecting Personal Data should be at the Heart of Product Development
Data privacy starts in product development. It is considered a best practice to ensure that every member of the product team understands the concept of privacy by design, and how to put these guidelines into practice.

For effective results, privacy should be thoughtfully layered throughout the product development lifecycle.
The investment in data protection and privacy fosters innovation, consumer loyalty and trust in your products while ensuring compliance with applicable data privacy regulations.
To give your organization a competitive advantage, ensure that every member of your product development team is trained in data privacy.

Data Privacy is Everyone's Business
All contributors to the product development cycle need to understand data privacy best practices in order to protect consumer data.
