In a data driven economy, analysts must be concerned with how data is collected, processed and subsequently used to improve online customer experiences, during those moments that matter.
Unlocking Value & Controlling Risk by #MindYourPrivacy
Does your company adequately manage and control the Data Life Cycle? Are you aware of European Privacy fines? Did the Target security breach that emanated through a 3rd party worry you and make you wonder about where to start?

Privacy is Perception
… but do another.
66% of Americans say
they do not want to
receive targeted ads
53% of Americans want
websites they visit to
offer discounts tailored
to their interests
64% of Americans say they are less
likely to vote for a political candidate
who buys information about their
online behavior
92% of U.S. internet users say
they worry about privacy online
Behaviorally-targeted
ads have 240%+ higher
conversion rates
80% of internet users do
not “always” read
privacy policies, and
only half bother logging
out

12. Privacy, the Word
From our Wikipedia friends:
From Latin: privatus "separated from the rest, deprived of something, esp. office,
participation in the government", from privo "to deprive”
The ability of an individual or group to seclude themselves or information about
themselves and thereby express themselves selectively.
The boundaries and content of what is considered private differ among
cultures and individuals, but share common themes.
When something is private to a person, it usually means there is something to
them inherently special or sensitive.
The domain of privacy partially overlaps security, including for instance the
concepts of appropriate use, as well as protection of information.
Privacy may also take the form of bodily integrity.

13. Privacy, nothing to hide?
“If you have something that you don’t want
anyone to know, maybe you shouldn’t be
doing it in the first place.”

18. Regulatory law
“Every country is a little different.
You run into different regulatory regimes and you need to
make sure you have the right tools so that people can
implement the right policies they are required to by
law…
They aren’t that different”

In light of fuzzy interpretations of Privacy, could we
agree upon
• Thinking of it as data protection
• Protecting the data we are entrusted with
• While respecting the Right to “Privacy”
• Taking into consideration information security
measures

24. So what is considered PII?
Personal Information (based on the definition commonly used by most US states)
i Name, such as full name, maiden name, mother‘s maiden name, or alias
ii Personal identification number, such as social security number (SSN),
passport number, driver‘s license number, account and credit card number
iii Address information, such as street address or email address
iv Asset information, such as Internet Protocol (IP) or Media Access Control
(MAC)
v Telephone numbers, including mobile, business, and personal numbers.
Information identifying personally owned property, such as vehicle registration
number or title number and related information

• Who knows their Chief Privacy Officer?
According to the DMA (US), CMOs should abide to
an average # of 300 pieces of legislation
• Is PII really PII?

@AureliePols
32. Data collection
• Purpose – Consent
o Reason for data collection:
• Website improvement, better User Experience
• Marketing communication
• Opt-in? Opt-out? Double opt-in?
o Depends upon:
• Type of data: PII, sensitive data
• Type of sector: financial, health, …
• Geography: US vs. EU vs. ???
@AureliePols
33. Examples: US vs. Spain
US: no purpose,
no consent
Spain: consent,
purpose, opt-in & opt-
out
@AureliePols
34. Trust & creepiness
Consent is about a reasonable expectation of the use of data
o There’s a fine line
between
feeling charmed
vs.
feeling invaded
o Create win-win situations:
• Customers give company information
• Customers get better service/value for money

36. Typical personal data misconceptions
Very often present in technology companies
o We do not identify the user while using the data, so we have no
issues with Privacy law
o We only use the serial # of the users device, so the data is
anonymous and we have no issues with Privacy laws
o We encrypt the data so we are no longer using/sending/receiving
personal data
o We use hashes to replace all serial #, so the data is now
anonymous and we have no issues with Privacy laws
o We anonymize the data, so we are not using personal data
o We can use the user’s data for anything we want, as long as we
keep the data to ourselves
o Look: big name companies are doing the same, so we are ok

45. Compliance vs. Risk Assessments
• Achieving 100% compliance is a chimera
o Compliance is a journey, not a destination
o Level of required compliance linked to
• Sector
• Personal internal management
• Company risk profile
• Risk is a moving target
o Risk of being fined
o Risk of being breached
o Brand perception => subjective

48. Data transformations
Consent & purpose
Through which pipes?
Data (transfer) security?
Data access?
…
From granular to aggregated
@AureliePols
49. What to do?
1. Know your information structure (cloud)
o Can you exactly draw the Cloud supplier slide?
2. Cloud inventory (PIA)
o Provider (& sub-contractors)
o Location
• Cloud service HQ
• Servers
• Applicable law: our friend Snowden
• Physical location: earthquakes?
• Any incidents to report?
• In-house control access (risk)
• Terms & Conditions
• Information Security measures
• Related to Privacy
@AureliePols
50. What to do?
3. Know your Data structure: data inventory
(cloud)
o (Do you know which data can be found where)?
o Have you reviewed your information security measures?
o What happens in case of a breach?
4. Authorization required?
o Approval International Data Transfers (IDT)
o Safe Harbor
o Binding Corporate Rules (BCR)
o User consent
@AureliePols
51. Moving to the cloud
1. List your departments
2. What type of data needs to be moved?
3. What are your data risk levels?
o Low / Medium / High / Extremely High
4. What do you need for compliance?
Have a list of questions ready
to ask your cloud provider
except for the price!
