Privacy and Security UX(PSX)

Privacy-first design patterns for agent systems with transparent data handling, granular controls, and user empowerment

Complexity: highUI/UX & Human-AI Interaction

๐ŸŽฏ 30-Second Overview

Pattern: Privacy-first design patterns with transparent data handling, granular controls, and user empowerment

Why: AI agents handle sensitive data requiring robust privacy protection and regulatory compliance

Key Insight: Implement privacy by design with granular controls, plain language transparency, and usable security

โšก Quick Implementation

1Privacy by Design:Build granular controls and transparency into core UX
2Data Minimization:Clear purpose specification and essential data collection only
3User Empowerment:Easy access, correction, deletion, and portability controls
4Transparent Processing:Plain language explanations of data use and AI decisions
5Security UX:Usable security controls that balance protection and usability
Example: consent_granular โ†’ data_purpose_clear โ†’ processing_transparent โ†’ controls_accessible โ†’ security_usable

๐Ÿ“‹ Do's & Don'ts

โœ…Use plain language for privacy notices and consent forms
โœ…Provide granular control over data types and purposes
โœ…Make privacy settings easily discoverable and accessible
โœ…Implement just-in-time consent for new data uses

โŒHide privacy settings in deep menu structures
โŒUse dark patterns to manipulate privacy choices
โŒOverwhelm users with complex legal language
โŒMake privacy-protective choices harder than permissive ones
โŒSacrifice security for convenience without user awareness
