Description
The Analysis of Privacy Principles, published in 2007 by the ISTPA, analyzed twelve international privacy regulations and best documents [instruments] in order to determine if a "common" set of FIPPs could be extracted or inferred.
The study methodology included the use of a working set of privacy principles in order to facilitate cross-instrument mapping while also accommodating their many variations in the twelve instruments: Accountability, Notice, Consent, Collection Limitation, Use Limitation, Disclosure, Access and Correction, Security/Safeguards, Data Quality, Enforcement, and Openness.
Using direct references extracted from each instrument, mapped against these terms in tabular format, the Analysis compares and correlates the language in each instrument associated with these key principles and identifies in nine instances where a particular principle is composed of additional, definable components.
