lecture: Privacy Design Strategies

Doing well is good enough

Privacy laws are complex and vague. They offer little concrete guidelines for engineers. Privacy design strategies address this issue. They translate vague legal norms into concrete design goals.

But that is good enough!

This approach fails to deliver real solutions to pressing problems and is not helpful towards organisations that want to do well. Here perfection is the enemy of the good.
