Policies have been widely used to govern the action of a system. With the increasing availability of sensitive data on-line, privacy becomes one of the most important aspects to be considered in e.g. health, financial and genetic information areas. However, when deployed in real systems, many different types of system failures are likely to occur due to software malfunction, human error, contradiction of internal policies with the legislation, etc. This can result in a privacy breach. In this paper we introduce a Privacy Policy Fail-Safe device which is based on the Fail-Safe concept to mitigate the effect of system failures to be in the safe state.
