🔐 🔎 A survey conducted this year by Cisco revealed that 94% of organizations believe their customers won’t buy from them if data is not properly protected. To ensure privacy friendly practices organizations must seek to ensure their products, processes and related systems capture and reflect privacy requirements and principles in their design.   In practice organizations are beginning to adopt a shift left approach to privacy requirement’s that aims to ensure privacy requirements are captured earlier on in project timelines. In this blog, our colleague James O'Neill explains the origin of the shift left concept, what it means in a privacy context, the benefits, and how to achieve it in practice.   #privacybydesign #GDPR #shiftleft

🔶 The California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) has published a draft regulation on automated decision making technology, which would include facial recognition and others. 🔹 This may set the ground for future AI legislation in the USA.   🔹 It defines new protections related to the use of these technologies by businesses, some of them in a similar way to what we have under GDPR. 🔹 Indeed the current California Data Protection legislation is similar to the GDPR in many aspects, and California is leading the country in privacy protection.   🔸 This proposal sets guarantees such as:   1) Companies shall provide information on the logic of the system. 2) Consumers can decide to opt out. Exceptions to this would be businesses that use automated decision-making software for security reasons, to detect fraudulent actions. 3) Allow consumers to access their data.   🔹 This is a preliminary phase and the formal rulemaking process has not yet started.
