Privacy Transparency Patterns

This paper describes two privacy patterns for creating privacy transparency: the Personal Data Table pattern and the Privacy Policy Icons pattern, as well as a full overview of privacy transparency patterns. It is a first step in creating a full set of privacy design patterns, which will aid software developers with the realization of privacy by design. Privacy design patterns are design solutions to recurring privacy problems; as such they can facilitate the development of privacy-by-design solutions. Privacy design patterns as such exist, but a complete, uniform and readily applicable overview does not exist. This paper presents such an overview for privacy transparency patterns: they focus on solutions on how to create privacy transparency. Two privacy transparency patterns are fully described: the Personal Data Table pattern and the Privacy Policy Icons pattern.
