James Felton Keith, Founder of the International Personal Data Trade Association (IPDTA) and Board Member, Democratic National Committee, participates in Risk Roundup to discuss Personal Data Ownership.
Personal Data Ownership
The technology-driven ability to track human “data” is driving a fundamental transformation across nations. This rise in “tracking technology” has not only made “data” collection possible, but it has also made possible qualification and quantification of “data” that individuals and entities across nations: its government, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA) never could imagine was possible so far.
The “data” that is generated through human use of “tracking technology” that is part of smartphones, smartwatches, smart appliances, smart cars, and more, is on its way to give rise to a whole new “personal information economy”. This is a whole new “data-driven economy” that gives each one of us an ability to make decisions based on clear and measurable “data”. It is therefore important to understand and evaluate:
- What data is being generated?
- What tracking devices are generating the data?
- Where is, the data going?
- Who owns all that data?
When the tracking devices that we use to know about our individual behavior: what motivates us, what mood we have and when, what triggers changes in our mood, what causes stress, what behavior changes we go through when we are stressed, where do we travel, when and how, who do we meet and who influences us and so on, this is a cause of great concern.
Time is now to talk about Personal Data Ownership!
