Data protection should not be considered as an afterthought but rather integrated into the development of products and services from the outset. This approach, known as “Privacy by Default,” ensures that data protection is embedded in the design and development processes from the ground up to protect user privacy from the start.

What does “Privacy by Default” mean in concrete terms? It means that data protection measures are automatically activated and applied without the user needing to take active steps. This includes, among other things, the default activation of privacy settings, minimizing data collection to the necessary minimum, and implementing security measures such as encryption and access controls from the beginning.

By considering data protection as a fundamental part of product development, companies can strengthen customer trust, minimize the risks of data breaches, and better meet legal requirements. Privacy by Default is not only a legal requirement but also a sign of responsible and ethical business conduct.
