Our data privacy is a commodity just like our personal data. We already have to pay for privacy. Most people don't realize it. We have certainly been very willing test subjects in America. I read every T&C for every app. They almost all have this clause: "If you download this app, you consent to our privacy policies, which 'may' include selling your information to third parties for use in research or marketing." If you say "I don't consent" a message pops up that says uninstall the app. That's it. Consent or don't play. Many apps that I have had for years have changed their T&Cs and now interrupt my use with ads that I can 'pay to upgrade to avoid ads." The privacy laws have begun to divide us: 1. I don't care about my data, I want to use the latest app. 2. I do care about my privacy. I have to choose to give it up or not play online with my friends or be on Instagram. 3. I care about my rights and I am willing to be an outsider. Society is dividing because these rules don't require that companies allow for different privacy policies. And in an ironic twist, The New York Times made me consent to their new privacy policies to read this article. #data #dataprivacy #gdpr #ccpa #datasovereignty

Data privacy is a commodity. In spite of the many privacy regulations, we are only slightly more "secure" and in control of our data than before. The root cause of this is often ignorance, cost, or a lax attitude on the part of the company to tag and secure their data, rather than nefarious or opportunistic purpose. Understanding where your data reside, how it is tagged, what is appropriate use, and how it can be audited require hard work. We can help. You need a strategy and governance organization to avoid this problem. #data #dataprivacy #dataprivacymatters #datagovernance #datastrategy #gdpr #ccpa #privacy
