The PbD-SE TC work follows the Seven Foundational Principles of Privacy by Design:
- Proactive not Reactive; Preventative Not Remedial
- Privacy as the Default Setting
- Privacy Embedded into Design
- Full Functionality - Positive-Sum, Not Zero-Sum
- End-to-End Security - Full Lifecycle Protection
- Visibility and Transparency - Keep It Open
- Respect for User Privacy - Keep It User-Centric
PbD-SE offers a privacy extension/complement to OMG’s Unified Modeling Language (UML) and serves as a complement to OASIS’ eXtensible Access Control Mark-up Language (XACML) and Privacy Management Reference Model (PMRM).
