Cover Story: The collection and processing of personal data offer great opportunities for technological advances, but the accumulation of vast amounts of personal data increases the risk of malicious misuse, especially in healthcare. Therefore, personal data is legally protected. Privacy policies transparently inform users about the collection and processing of their data. In addition, various approaches exist to technically protect personal data when processed or shared. In this work, we define a personal privacy workflow, considering the negotiation of privacy policies, privacy-preserving processing, and secondary use of personal data, in the context of healthcare data processing. We survey applicable privacy-enhancing technologies for each step of the workflow to identify open research opportunities. View this paper
