Managing Data Privacy Ethically in a Rapidly Changing World

4/27/2020

In a post Coronavirus world where social distancing becomes commonplace, technology and online interactions will take on an ever-increasing role in daily life. Consumers will trade information about themselves for access, convenience, and safety. At the same time, states within the US as well as countries around the globe are looking to legislation such as GDPR and CCPA to craft their own data privacy requirements. Organizations wishing to thrive in this new digital landscape will need to go beyond compliance and merely checking the box on managing and overseeing the use of personal data.
