The government of Arizona is the governmental structure of the state of Arizona as established by the Arizona Constitution. The executive is composed of the Governor,several other statewide elected officials,and the Governor's cabinet. The Arizona Legislature consists of the House of Representatives and Senate.

The Arizona Corporation Commission is the Public Utilities Commission of the State of Arizona,established by Article 15 of the Arizona Constitution. Arizona is one of only fourteen states with elected commissioners. The Arizona Constitution explicitly calls for an elected commission,as opposed to a governor-appointed commission,which is the standard in most states,because its drafters feared that governors would appoint industry-friendly officials. They are directly elected statewide and serve staggered four-year terms. Due to its separation from the executive branch,the commission is often referred to as the "fourth branch of government." The characterization of the Commission as the "fourth branch of government" is contradicted,however,by Article III of the Arizona Constitution,which provides that "[t]he powers of the government of the state of Arizona shall be divided into three separate departments,the legislative,the executive,and the judicial".

Privacy by design is an approach to systems engineering initially developed by Ann Cavoukian and formalized in a joint report on privacy-enhancing technologies by a joint team of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario (Canada),the Dutch Data Protection Authority,and the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research in 1995. The privacy by design framework was published in 2009 and adopted by the International Assembly of Privacy Commissioners and Data Protection Authorities in 2010.
