Privacy principles

“

- [Instructor] All of this information about privacy can seem a little overwhelming, even confusing. So let's create some practical first principles around privacy. First, privacy is here to stay. You need to protect your business and your users by building privacy into your products. Otherwise, somebody who does not understand your business and does not understand your users will force your hand. You will want to be proactive and not reactive. Second, privacy can be a competitive differentiator. If done right, privacy can help you manage risk, handle audits, and improve your reputation. Third, privacy can help your business mature. For a long time, businesses have grown by fostering a democratized and a decentralized culture with a very bottom-up feel. Your privacy teams can help retain that energy, while providing a centralized focus, so that all your products and teams can leverage privacy tools and protect your users.
