Guinan Track: Personal Data Empowerment
A fresh vision for personal data empowerment, built around consumer attitudes and values, is required: one that sees the value of data shared more evenly amongst both the citizens who generate data and the organizations that use it; one that balances safeguards with the ability to innovate and one that contributes towards a more stable personal data ecosystem that better serves the citizens in the 21st century. The Guinan Track isn’t just for privacy experts; it’s for EVERYONE who wants control over their personal data.
