The implementation of appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure and be able to
demonstrate that the handling of personal data is performed in accordance with relevant law, an idea
codified in the EU General Data Protection Regulation and other frameworks, including APEC's Cross
Border Privacy Rules. Traditionally, accountability has been a fair information practices principle, that
due diligence and reasonable steps will be undertaken to ensure that personal information will be
protected and handled consistently with relevant law and other fair use principles.

Anonymization
, The process in which individually identifiable data is altered in such a way that it no longer can be
related back to a given individual. Among many techniques, there are three primary ways that data is
anonymized. Suppression is the most basic version of anonymization and it simply removes some
identifying values from data to reduce its identifiability. Generalization takes specific identifying values
and makes them broader, such as changing a specific age (18) to an age range (18-24). Noise addition
takes identifying values from a given data set and switches them with identifying values from another
individual in that data set. Note that all of these processes will not guarantee that data is no longer
identifiable and have to be performed in such a way that does not harm the usability of the data.
A set of non-binding principles adopted by the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperative (APEC) that mirror the
OECD Fair Information Privacy Practices. Though based on OECD Guidelines, they seek to promote
electronic commerce throughout the Asia-Pacific region by balancing information privacy with business
