Abstrakt: Article 25(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") is the first provision that comes to mind when discussing data protection by design. Yet, the origins of that concept can be traced back to an idea that was already solidly established in the software engineering community before its adoption. Besides, the GDPR is not the first binding piece of legislation that incorporates such an obligation. This paper is the first part of a two paper series that explores the history of data protection by design and its manifestation in the text of the GDPR. This first paper unravels the history of that concept by delving into its technical roots and outlining the national and EU initiatives that have preceded the GDPR. Such a retrospective provides the necessary background for the second paper to delve into the implications and scope of its current manifestation in the text of the Regulation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
