Privacy engineering

Privacy engineering is a way to help keep your information safe and secure online. It involves building things like software, websites and apps in a way that protects your personal data from being used or shared without your permission. For example, a website might ask you to enter your name, address and credit card information when you sign up. Privacy engineering would help keep that information secure so it can't be seen by anyone else without your permission.
