As privacy regulations like GDPR or CCPA are put into action, how can designers and UX researchers keep the balance between compliance and design?
In this session, I will talk through how I partnered with the Dropbox Privacy team on a number of projects that culminated in a privacy course for the Dropbox team. Anchored by the Privacy by Design Principles, I will touch on:
- My path and passion for privacy and design.
- How to integrate user consent within the design process
- How to balance legal compliance and product requirements, and
- How you can build transparency and trust with your users by practicing these principles
