Context  The  ini4al  perspec4ve  on  the  Future  of  Privacy  kicked  off  the    

Future  Agenda  2.0  global  discussions  taking  place  through  2015.    This  summary  builds  on  the  ini4al  view  and  is  updated  as  we  progress  

Ini4al  Perspec4ves  Q4  2014  

Global  Discussions  Q1/2  2015  

Insight  Synthesis  Q3  2015

Knowing  The  Unknown  By  2020  people  and  connected  objects  will  generate  40  trillion  gigabytes  of  

data  that  will  have  an  impact  on  daily  life  in  one  way  or  another.  This  data  will  make  known  about  us  things  that  were  previously  unknown  or  unknowable.  

Page 4: Future of privacy - Insights from Discussions Building on an Initial Perspective by Stephen Deadman, Vodafone

Value  of  Data  There  is  undoubtedly  a  huge  economic  incen4ve  to  generate  and  collect  data  from  whatever  sources  it  becomes  available.  As  more  data  from  more  things  becomes  available,  we  can  expect  to  see  a  data  “land  grab”  by  organisa4ons.    

Page 5: Future of privacy - Insights from Discussions Building on an Initial Perspective by Stephen Deadman, Vodafone

Privacy  is  a  Public  Issue  The  public’s  percep4on  of  the  threats  to  privacy,  personal  freedom    and  autonomy  is  growing.  Privacy  has  already  emerged  beyond  a    niche,  specialist  concern  to  being  a  mainstream  public  issue.    

Page 6: Future of privacy - Insights from Discussions Building on an Initial Perspective by Stephen Deadman, Vodafone

Growing  Distrust  Growing  awareness  and  distrust  will  increasingly  become  a  factor  in    

decision  making  for  ordinary  people  –  decisions  about  the  products  we  use    or  abandon,  the  brands  we  associate  with,  the  poli4cal  leaders  we  elect.  

Page 7: Future of privacy - Insights from Discussions Building on an Initial Perspective by Stephen Deadman, Vodafone

Digital  Commons  The  ‘digital  commons’  will  con4nue  to  grow,  empowering  more  and  more  

ci4zens  and  consumers  to  take  maZers  into  their  own  hands,  such  as  deploying  end-­‐to-­‐end  encryp4on,  anonymizers  and  by  “watching  the  watchers”.      

Page 8: Future of privacy - Insights from Discussions Building on an Initial Perspective by Stephen Deadman, Vodafone

Individual  Control  New  disrup4ve  providers  are  seeking  to  put  the  individual  in  control  of    their  personal  data.  In  the  process,  they  are  seeking  to  dis-­‐intermediate    

data-­‐intensive  businesses  from  their  exis4ng  sources  of  data.    

Page 9: Future of privacy - Insights from Discussions Building on an Initial Perspective by Stephen Deadman, Vodafone

Stronger  RegulaDon  Regula4on  will  get  tougher:  Policy  makers  will  act  to  toughen    

laws,  even  though  they  move  at  geological  speeds    compared  to  the  rate  of  technology  development.  

Page 10: Future of privacy - Insights from Discussions Building on an Initial Perspective by Stephen Deadman, Vodafone

Personally  Curated  Data  ‘Personally  curated’  sources  of  data  will  have  higher  value  simply  due  to  the  fact  that  they  will  represent  the  actual  wishes  and  desires  of  an  individual,  

rather  than  the  presumed  wishes  and  desires  based  on  derived  data.    

Page 11: Future of privacy - Insights from Discussions Building on an Initial Perspective by Stephen Deadman, Vodafone

Privacy  Visibility  The  security  industry  has  been  es4mated  to  be  worth  $350  Billion  in    

the  US  alone;  security  is  a  sophis4cated  and  maturing  market.    The  ‘privacy  industry’  by  contrast  is  hardly  recognizable  at  all.    

Page 12: Future of privacy - Insights from Discussions Building on an Initial Perspective by Stephen Deadman, Vodafone

ShiEing  Power  To  The  Individual  This  poten4al  for  economic  disrup4on  to  come  to  the  aid  of  privacy    

by  shiaing  power  over  data  from  the  organisa4on  to  the  individual  is  one  of  the  most  significant  emerging  trends.  

Page 13: Future of privacy - Insights from Discussions Building on an Initial Perspective by Stephen Deadman, Vodafone

Data  Ethics  and  Trust  As  trust  increasingly  drives  success,  organisa4ons  will  seek  to  make  data  ethics  a  focus.  In  order  to  engage  and  gain  buy-­‐in  from  governments  and  consumers  

alike,  trust  in  data  usage  will  become  a  core  placorm  for  differen4a4on.  

Page 14: Future of privacy - Insights from Discussions Building on an Initial Perspective by Stephen Deadman, Vodafone

Linkability  of  Open  Data  No  data  will  be  truly  anonymous:  Current  open  data  prac4ce  assumes  that  

technology  will  be  not  be  able  to  relink  it  to  its  source.  This  is  not  the    case  and  so,  by  2025,  we  will  see  different  levels  of  de-­‐iden4fica4on.    

Page 15: Future of privacy - Insights from Discussions Building on an Initial Perspective by Stephen Deadman, Vodafone

Global  vs.  Local  Technology  is  by  its  very  nature  global  and  data  does  not  respect  na4onal  

boundaries.  Can  na4on  states  con4nue  to  set  the  rules  or  will  tension  in  global  interoperability  drive  us  to  design  for  global  standards  but  with  localised  use?  

Page 16: Future of privacy - Insights from Discussions Building on an Initial Perspective by Stephen Deadman, Vodafone

Technology  to  the  Rescue  The  machines  will  help  us  manage  our  privacy:  Technology  will    

enable  people  to  protect  themselves  and  killer  apps  will  let  people    collect  and  share  their  data  for  the  ‘public  good’.  

Page 17: Future of privacy - Insights from Discussions Building on an Initial Perspective by Stephen Deadman, Vodafone

Privacy  as  CompeDDon  Privacy  is  not  about  the  individual  –  it  is  all  about  the  value  of  data.    

Therefore  we  will  see  increasing  data  fragmenta4on  as  companies  seek    to  use  data  for  compe44ve  advantage  and  create  new  barriers  to  entry.  

Page 18: Future of privacy - Insights from Discussions Building on an Initial Perspective by Stephen Deadman, Vodafone

Data  Risk  Management  As  privacy  and  data  are  subsumed  within  wider  risk  frameworks,    

greater  self-­‐regula4on  and  more  in-­‐house  data  risk  management  will    lead  to  deeper  integra4on  of  engineering,  privacy  and  policy.  

Page 19: Future of privacy - Insights from Discussions Building on an Initial Perspective by Stephen Deadman, Vodafone

I,  Robot  We  will  see  urgent  debate  on  the  accountability  and  ethicacy  of  machines  and  systems  making  autonomous  decisions,  using  our  data.  Solu4ons  will  have  profound  implica4ons  for  the  development  of  data-­‐driven  technologies.  

Page 20: Future of privacy - Insights from Discussions Building on an Initial Perspective by Stephen Deadman, Vodafone

Privacy  EducaDon  Race  Programmes  of  ‘privacy  educa4on’  emerge  to  combat  mass-­‐desensi4sa4on  to  the  sharing  of  private  data.  However  this  will  not  prevent  ‘privacy  coronaries’  

 –  the  result  of  returning  to  bad  habits  aaer  privacy  viola4ons.  

Page 21: Future of privacy - Insights from Discussions Building on an Initial Perspective by Stephen Deadman, Vodafone

Privacy  Crimes:  Data  Hostages  Criminals  have  always  invaded  privacy,  but  new  threats  emerge  as  our  digital  selves  increasingly  become  poten4ally  valuable  hostages.  Stronger  privacy  

rights  will  need  to  be  backed  by  knowledge  of  where  we  are  most  vulnerable.  

Page 22: Future of privacy - Insights from Discussions Building on an Initial Perspective by Stephen Deadman, Vodafone

The  Many  Faces  of  Privacy  Different  interpreta4ons  of  privacy,  many  from  different  cultures,  challenge  exis4ng  models.  Global  frameworks  may  become  more  consistent  while  

implementa4ons  are  localised  and  diverse,  making  'privacy  borders'  a  reality.  

Page 23: Future of privacy - Insights from Discussions Building on an Initial Perspective by Stephen Deadman, Vodafone

Privacy  Rights  We  see  more  robust  privacy  rights  beZer  suited  to  the  digital  age.  These  may  include  rights  to  anonymity  and  personal  data  ownership,  but  also  innova4ve  

rights  to  ‘digital  self-­‐determina4on’  or  ‘the  right  to  change  our  minds’.  

Page 24: Future of privacy - Insights from Discussions Building on an Initial Perspective by Stephen Deadman, Vodafone

Paying  for  Privacy    We  do  not  currently  understand  the  value  of  our  data  or  how  it  is    

being  used  and  so  are  giving  it  away.  In  the  future  we  might  be  willing    to  pay  more  for  our  privacy  than  the  data  we  share.    

Page 25: Future of privacy - Insights from Discussions Building on an Initial Perspective by Stephen Deadman, Vodafone

To  Have  and  To  Hold  Porous  access  controls  and  the  risk  of  future  liabili4es  highlight  to    many  that  there  is  benefit  in  destroying  data  that  is  not  needed    

–  especially  HR,  customer  and  pricing  informa4on.  

Page 26: Future of privacy - Insights from Discussions Building on an Initial Perspective by Stephen Deadman, Vodafone

Sharing  Secrets  In  exchange  for  beZer  service  or  an  improved  quality  of  life,    we  increasingly  recognise  exactly  what  personal  informa4on    

we  are  prepared  to  share  and  who  to  share  it  with.  

Page 27: Future of privacy - Insights from Discussions Building on an Initial Perspective by Stephen Deadman, Vodafone

The  Privacy  Illusion  There  is  a  rising  general  belief  in  the  right  to  data  privacy  and  the  right    

to  data  security.  Both  are  illusions:  Security  is  impossible  without    increased  monitoring  -­‐  and  so  true  privacy  is  also  impossible.  

Page 28: Future of privacy - Insights from Discussions Building on an Initial Perspective by Stephen Deadman, Vodafone

Privacy  Agents  The  difficul4es  in  extrac4ng  value  from  our  data  while  protec4ng  our  privacy  sees  the  emergence  of  new  professions.  Look  out  for  ‘privacy  agents’  and    ‘data  brokers’  ac4ng  as  intermediaries  and  managing  the  flow  of  our  data.  

Page 29: Future of privacy - Insights from Discussions Building on an Initial Perspective by Stephen Deadman, Vodafone

Rising  Cyber  Security  Greater  interconnec4vity  and  the  Internet  of  Things  creates  new    

vulnerabili4es  for  governments  and  corpora4ons  -­‐  as  the  unscrupulous  and    the  criminal  increasingly  seek  to  exploit  weakness  and  destroy  systems.  

Page 30: Future of privacy - Insights from Discussions Building on an Initial Perspective by Stephen Deadman, Vodafone

Global  Privacy  Treaty  As  different  regions  all  seek  to  progress  data  regula4on  via  the  likes  of  APEC  and  the  EU,  the  emergence  of  a  global  privacy  framework  is  championed  by  those  looking  for  control  and  transparency:  A  Geneva  Conven4on  for  privacy?  

Page 31: Future of privacy - Insights from Discussions Building on an Initial Perspective by Stephen Deadman, Vodafone

Under  the  Skin  As  wearables  and  implants  become  commonplace  and  workforces  are  

freelance  and  porcolio-­‐based,  the  ability  of  organisa4ons  to  own  or  control  corporate  informa4on  held  on  personal  devices  is  significantly  diminished.    

Page 32: Future of privacy - Insights from Discussions Building on an Initial Perspective by Stephen Deadman, Vodafone

Data  and  Democracy  Many  ques4on  whether  privacy  will  enable  the  democra4c  process:  Is  there  privacy  without  democracy?  Ci4zen  data  is  increasingly  publicly  used  and  

shared  by  governments  as  an  instrument  of  social  change.  

Page 33: Future of privacy - Insights from Discussions Building on an Initial Perspective by Stephen Deadman, Vodafone

Privacy  as  a  Luxury  The  right  to  privacy  becomes  more  difficult  to  enforce,  but  the  wealthy  

con4nue  to  take  ac4on  when  informa4on  is  misused.  Privacy  could  be  a  luxury  in  the  near  term  –  but  may  become  more  widely  available  in  the  longer  term.  

Page 34: Future of privacy - Insights from Discussions Building on an Initial Perspective by Stephen Deadman, Vodafone

Informed  Consent  Given  complex  data  flows,  informed  consent  is  increasingly  challenging  –    

so  an  alterna4ve  is  needed:  An  accountability  governance  model  incorpora4ng  ethics  and  respeccul  data  use  is  a  compelling  subs4tute  or  complement.
