Explanation
Transparency directly addresses the root cause: users do not know why their data is collected. Transparency requires organizations to clearly communicate-through privacy notices, just-in-time disclosures, and plain-language explanations-what data is collected, for what purpose, for how long, and with whom it is shared. Informed users can make meaningful consent decisions. Encryption (A) protects data confidentiality but does not inform users of data collection purposes. Intervenability (C) is a privacy principle that allows users to correct or delete their data after the fact, but does not address lack of understanding at collection time. Unlinkability (D) is a technical control that prevents data from being linked to an individual, but again does not communicate purpose to users.
