Your Privacy Decision-Making Toolkit
Before you begin your course capstone project, let's recap the tools we've introduced in this course to help you protect your users' privacy and make ethical decisions in your work. Together, they form a toolkit you can deploy when faced with challenging design decisions or an ethical dilemma. What's more, they will also help you justify your decisions to others and build a culture of privacy in your organization.
