When developing apps and other software, engineers often collect excessive consumer data and lack consideration for potential breaches. As a privacy professional, how can you implement developer-friendly privacy programs?

According to privacy consultant Vaibhav Antil, there is a knowledge barrier between engineering and privacy teams. To address and mitigate this, it's essential to provide developers with readily-available privacy tools that display each code's data leaks and breaches. By collaborating with engineers and using familiar language when giving instructions, you can mitigate risks to your software.
