What was the first privacy framework to be developed?

The first privacy framework to be developed was the OECD Privacy Principles. These principles were introduced by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in 1980 and laid the groundwork for many subsequent privacy laws and regulations. The OECD Privacy Principles include guidelines on data collection, data quality, purpose specification, use limitation, security safeguards, openness, individual participation, and accountability. These principles have had a significant influence on the development of privacy practices worldwide (IAPP, Certified Information Privacy Technologist (CIPT) materials).
