OECD Privacy Guidelines

The OECD Privacy Guidelines are a set of recommendations established by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development to protect personal data and privacy. They emphasize principles such as data minimization, transparency, purpose limitation, and security measures. Essentially, these guidelines encourage organizations to collect only necessary information, inform individuals about how their data is used, limit data use to specific purposes, and ensure strong safeguards are in place to protect that data from unauthorized access. Their aim is to balance the benefits of data use with the right to individual privacy.
