Privacy

The default should be the private one.

A setting that protects you only if you find it is not protection. It is paperwork.

The test

Four things, or it is not a control.

Private firstThe state you get before touching anything is the protective one. Convenience is the thing you opt into, not the thing you have to opt out of.
ReversibleWhat can be turned on can be turned off, and off means stopped rather than paused until the next update decides otherwise.
FindableOne place, in the words a person would actually use to look for it. Not nested three screens down under a heading nobody would think to open.
CompleteWithdrawing a permission withdraws what it collected. Deleting something deletes the copy as well as the original.

Notes
  1. These pages state how Oplo intends to build and what it has committed to. They are not the binding document; the privacy policy is, and it is in preparation. Where a protection is not built yet, it is labelled as such rather than described in the present tense.
