Abstract

Large amounts of data are collected and processed nowadays. Data privacy is to ensure that disclosure of sensitive information does not take place. In this chapter we give an introduction to the field. We describe the motivations for data privacy, underline the links between data privacy and the society, and review terminology and concepts.

See e.g. “In the context of developing IT systems, this implies that privacy protection is a system requirement that must be treated like any other functional requirement. In particular, privacy protection (together with all other requirements) will determine the design and implementation of the system” in [58].
