PROOF-OF-WORK TASKS

8 TASKS

Start at Beginner and work up. Every task produces something real you can show: a report, a tool, a guide or a demo. Publish it on LinkedIn or GitHub as your proof of work.

Beginner

LEVEL 01

01Map the personal data flow of an app you use daily (what it collects, where the data goes, who sees it) as a diagram, with a short critique.
02Write a 15-item privacy-by-design checklist for student developers building their first app.
03Explain pseudonymisation vs anonymisation, with real examples of 'anonymous' data being re-identified.

Intermediate

LEVEL 02

01Run a LINDDUN privacy threat model on a sample app (for example, a health tracker) and propose a fix for each threat.
02Build a small tool that scans a CSV or database export for personal data (emails, phone numbers, Aadhaar-like patterns) and masks it.
03Create a data retention and deletion policy for a startup, with a schedule for each data type.

Advanced

LEVEL 03

01Build a privacy review toolkit for product teams: an intake form, data map template, risk scoring, and a DPIA template aligned with DPDP.
02Apply differential privacy to a public dataset, measure the privacy/accuracy trade-off at 3 epsilon values, and explain the results for non-experts.
