💡 Big idea: Public health products must protect individual privacy even when serving community health goals.
- 0-5 minWarm-up: name one type of health data you would NOT want shared without your permission
- 5-20 minList all personal or health data your product touches
- 20-40 minIdentify which items are individually identifiable; mark them for removal or aggregation
- 40-55 minDefine who should and should not have access; document access rules
- 55-70 minWrite a short privacy statement (3-5 sentences) for your product
- 70-80 minExit ticket: name one change to your product that reduces privacy risk

- • Today you'll audit your own product design for any data that could identify a specific person.
- • Even well-intentioned health apps have caused harm by collecting more than needed.
- • Writing a privacy statement is not optional: it's a professional design standard.
- 1List any personal or health data your product collects or displays.

Day 3 of this lesson. Open this exact section in myPLTW (reached through Schoology), then do the work below.
Do this: Open Problem 5 in your myPLTW course shell and navigate to the current activity, then audit your public health product for privacy and data-protection concerns.
Add your privacy statement to the Problem 5 evidence portfolio.
The message draft is done; privacy review belongs in the product-design phase, so confirm your activity guide.
Privacy statement and access rules submitted as evidence.
All PLTW activities are completed inside the PLTW course environment — this page only gives direction. Submit producibles on Schoology.
