## Practices

> Develop and enforce privacy policies that ensure data protection is built into all systems and processes from the beginning;
>
> Design systems with default privacy settings that automatically protect user data without requiring user intervention;
>
> Ensure systems default to privacy, include full functionality without compromising security, and maintain protections throughout the data lifecycle.
