Privacy by design, the key to good governance
Abstract
Nowadays, the world revolves around new digital technologies. However, this fact is not without risks. One of them is privacy which is a clear concept but not always respected. Therefore, from the beginning, using efficient protocols or guidelines is mandatory. These guidelines will ensure the rights of citizens without undermining the use of new technologies. Privacy by design is an approach with over 20 years that looks to protect citizens’ privacy. To carry out this arduous task, this framework defines seven basic concepts which ensure, as far as possible, considerations of privacy concerns from the very beginning of the design and development of business practices, services, products, and infrastructures. In this paper we focus our attention on the use of this paradigm to achieve stable economic, social, and institutional development, in other words, good governance.
