The Ethical Tech Project Launches With Privacy Advisory Board

(Business Wire) Today, The Ethical Tech Project, a multidisciplinary coalition that builds standards for an ethical internet with privacy at its core, announced the launch of its Privacy Advisory Board.

In response to growing concerns about the ways in which Big Tech manages user data and privacy, the Board will outline the privacy steps every user and consumer should expect as part of their sovereign data dignity. The Board’s goal is to develop a set of standards that are responsive to existing rules and regulations and offer engineers the specific tools, patterns, and frameworks for privacy-by-design. The Ethical Tech Project is composed of leaders at the highest levels of business, academia, and policy who are dedicated to creating the infrastructure for ethical technology that enshrines data dignity as a core operational tenet of the next generation of the internet.

“Technology holds the promise to bring people and communities together, but we can only realize that promise if we develop a framework for engineers to implement privacy as part of the programmatic infrastructure of their products,” said Tom Chavez, chair of The Ethical Tech Project.
