# Privacy Considerations {#sec-privacy}

Querying for entities may reveal the discovering entity's intentions or
interests. Discovery should minimise information leakage through the
query process.

Published entity properties, such as skills, capabilities, and
organisational affiliations, may be sensitive. Entities and their
operators should control the granularity and audience of published
information.
Privacy in discovering Agents, Workloads and Named entities is
inherently a two-sided problem. On the one hand, the party seeking an
entity should be able to discover providers without unnecessarily
revealing its identity, interests, or intent. On the other hand,
the entity offering a service, a workload, etc., should be
able to control what information about its capabilities,
existence, and availability is exposed to potential discoverers.

In line with guidelines provided in {{?RFC6973}}, discovery
architecture and related protocols should treat privacy as
a mutual property rather than a client-only concern. Both
discoverers and discovered entities are potential sources
and targets of information leakage, requiring mechanisms
that minimize data exposure, limit observability, and
support policy-based selective disclosure on both sides.

Further discussion and analysis about privacy considerations
in the context of DAWN can be found in
