The NPR can be applied by different categories of stakeholders, such as:

This NPR only considers the OUP and does not deal with specific services. Privacy, security, ethics, trust and similar issues concern specific services and are not part of the scope of this NPR. There are many standards and existing legislation for privacy, security, trust, transparency, etc. which should be observed. They will be referred to.
