Data Privacy
Data privacy today, in a nutshell
When the European Union introduced GDPR in 2016, they were creating the “gold standard” for governing bodies seeking to protect the privacy of their residents. California's CCPA and other laws that followed have some key features in common that mirror GDPR, including:
- • Geographic coverage based on the consumer’s residency, not the business’ location
- • The granting of specific rights to consumers that businesses are required to honor
- • Sufficient "teeth"—in the form of significant consequences for violations—to compel businesses to comply
Data privacy explained for: business leaders
In many organizations, managing the processes and technology that support compliance with data privacy regulations falls to business leaders. The directive often sounds something like "Please make sure you're compliant with data privacy laws. Thank you."
As a business leader, you’re responsible for
- • Understanding your data—including all the details of how, where, and why it’s used, who has access to it, how you're securing it, and what happens when you no longer need it
- • Creating the processes to manage data privacy requests (e.g. "give me all the personal data you've collected on me" or "forget you ever knew me")
- • Training your team on those processes
- • Maintaining the system so that you stay in a constant state of data privacy readiness
That's a lot of to "do's" to pile onto your already full to-do list, and it's just the beginning.
To manage this, you’re talking to the data privacy team (in legalese), the data teams (in data), and the technology teams (tech talk), and trying to translate that into the information your team needs to actually execute on data privacy requests.
Why business leaders are critical for data privacy readiness
Business leaders have a unique big-picture perspective of how the organization does business, which positions them to track the flow of personal data as it travels into and through various departments and systems.
Business leaders have the leadership acumen and authority to determine a strategic path for achieving readiness, communicate with key stakeholders, and work with various groups—from sales to customer service to IT to marketing—to bring them in line with the business' strategic data privacy readiness goals.
