Humanizing Privacy
The world is driven by data and AI is becoming a need today to unleash the data potential. Privacy is a fundamental human right and this needs an understanding of data. Many products and companies fail to understand users and leverage UX principles to make privacy regulations easy for their customers to understand and consume.
Humanizing Privacy is a design methodology for product teams and designers to bring the human element and relatable personality to the system to emotionally connect and make privacy private. This will help transform negative emotions into positive human emotions which helps build trust for success.
