  Privacy by Design’sGreatest Strength – Positive-Sum: The Power of “And” Change the paradigm from the dated zero-sum (win/win) to a “positive-sum” model: Create a win/win scenario, not an either/or (vs.) involving unnecessary trade-offs and false dichotomies … replace “vs.” with “and”

  Privacy by Design: The7 Foundational Principles 1. Proactive not Reactive: Preventative, not Remedial; 2. Privacy as the Default setting; 3. Privacy Embedded into Design; 4. Full Functionality: Positive-Sum, not Zero-Sum; 5. End-to-End Security: Full Lifecycle Protection; 6. Visibility and Transparency: Keep it Open; 7. Respect for User Privacy: Keep it User-Centric.

  — Commissioner Cavoukian “Privacyis just as Big as Big Data. The tools exist to systemically protect personal information and bring about the benefits of Big Data. Together we can ensure that Big Data and ‘Big Privacy’ can both be accomplished to enable win-win scenario.”

  “The success ofdata analytics will depend on the ability to ensure that individuals’ privacy is respected. One of the most effective ways in which to do this is through strong “de-identification” of the data — in essence, storing and sharing the data without revealing the identity of the individuals involved.” — Commissioner Cavoukian

  “There are considerable risksin abandoning de-identification efforts, including the fact that individuals and organizations may simply cease disclosing de- identified information for secondary purposes, even those seen to be in the public interest.” — Commissioner Cavoukian
