Data & Privacy
Protecting privacy is integral to establishing and maintaining the consumer trust that is integral to innovation. ITI works to encourage governments around the world to develop and advance policies that foster innovation and growth while meeting individuals’ expectations of protecting their privacy and personal data.
ITI's Framework to Advance Interoperable Rules (FAIR) on Privacy offers a roadmap that advances the privacy rights of consumers and defines the responsibilities of companies in using personal data while continuing to enable the innovations that transform lives. The framework includes specific recommendations that give consumers more control and a clearer understanding about how their personal data is used. It also includes measures to promote security and hold companies accountable to ensure companies use personal data responsibly and transparently.
