Privacy

Privacy concerns can arise due to security problems or questions about why certain information is gathered by a website or application. Privacy issues for users of all levels must also be addressed as early in development as the requirements phase, with an emphasis on whom has access to certain information and what will be done with the information. A system should be created that only stores the minimal amount of personal information about a person required to complete a given function.
