“There have been unprecedented investments in exploring what's possible with artificial intelligence and data science. We're begining to see the returns of that, positive and negative, and now is the time to move our attention to effective, scalable safeguards. The Privacy Stack is a meaningful step toward the design of technical mechanisms for ensuring data dignity for all.”

Privacy by design doesn’t have to be your primary concern - it just has to be implemented.

Make it easy with 4 Archetype scenarios - simple app, advanced app, processor app, and supply chain - and quickly understand how privacy-by-design easily fits within your product architecture.

Built from first-principle requirements to withstand the test of time.

The Privacy Stack considers data purpose, control, recognition, transmission, and rectification to fully surround the the problem of architecting for privacy-by-design.

Code frameworks, not legalese.

Finally grok the privacy-by-design problem with architecture examples, system components, component design, API design, and a Data Model for privacy.

About The Privacy Stack

The Privacy Stack is built by engineers, for engineers.

We saw a gap between the work and rhetoric of policy-makers on the issue of privacy and the on-the-ground reality that developers face. So we decided to do something about it.
