ICO: How can privacy-enhancing technologies contribute to compliance with data protection legislation?

How can Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs) help in complying with data protection regulations? An overview:

• PETs can help you demonstrate an approach where data protection is "naturally" and "by default" built into your processes.
• PETs can help you comply with the principle of data minimization, by ensuring that you only process the data you need for your purposes, and providing an appropriate level of security for your processing.
• You can use PETs to provide access to datasets that would otherwise be too sensitive to share, while simultaneously protecting the data of individuals.
• However, you should not consider PETs as an "all-encompassing solution" for complying with data protection regulations. Your processing must still be lawful, fair, and transparent.
• You must conduct a case-by-case assessment (for example, through a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA)) to determine whether PETs are suitable for your purposes.
