Privacy and Data Ethics (1:15 – 2:15)

• privacy forms the foundation of our freedom; it is essential that we preserve it now and well into the future, and the only way to do so is by embedding it proactively into the design of our operations
• using Privacy by Design will ensure that privacy is proactively baked into our operations and instilled into the code, preventing oversights from occurring
• Privacy by Design is also the most ethical form of preserving our privacy and ensuring the strongest form of data protection, fully under the control of the data subject; privacy revolves around the personal control of the data subject, relating to the use and disclosure of one's personal information
