When you hear “sensitive personal information,” what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Social security numbers? Addresses? Bank account information? It’s time to add a few more to the list: iris movement, facial recognition, fingerprints, voice identifiers and even your blood.
Co-founder and CEO at DataGrail
Daniel Barber is the Co-founder & CEO of DataGrail, the Privacy Control Center for modern brands to reduce risk and build trust. Before DataGrail, Daniel led revenue teams at DocuSign, Datanyze (acquired by ZoomInfo), ToutApp (acquired by Marketo) and Responsys (acquired by Oracle). Spending much of his career working with data products and third-party apps, Daniel grew increasingly disturbed by the volume of personal information collected and how that data was used by the brands entrusted to keep it safe. He built DataGrail in response, believing that privacy is a human right.
The future of data is not about how much we collect, but how ethically it is used and how we can realistically safeguard it so that we get the best out of AI without violating data privacy tenets.
New research provides evidence we’re entering the Great Privacy Awakening. In the absence of a federal law, consumers are taking action: From using ad-blockers, and deleting their browser history to using their privacy rights and requesting their data be deleted.
Data privacy management will only grow more important, expensive, and complicated in the days to come for tech companies. Companies need to take a step back and understand what data they have, where it resides and how to manage that data.
Ownership of privacy is best shared between legal, customer and security teams to help organizations fulfill compliance requirements and meet customers’ privacy expectations.
Many companies were blindsided by the time and cost to sustain GDPR compliance. With CCPA coming into effect, what should companies do to develop a sustainable compliance program?
