Privacy by Design is a proactive privacy framework and GDPR requirement (Article 25) mandating that data protection be embedded into system architecture, business practices, and technologies from inception rather than bolted on as afterthought, implementing privacy as the default setting. The framework comprises seven foundational principles articulated by Ann Cavoukian — including proactive prevention, privacy as default, full functionality (positive-sum), end-to-end lifecycle security, visibility and transparency, and respect for user privacy — requiring engineers and product teams to treat privacy as a core design constraint from the earliest specification stage.
