PRESENTATION TOPIC

Why Data Analytics Needs to Consider Data Privacy Laws

New data privacy laws are being adopted almost every month. From the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation to the California Consumer Privacy Act, these laws give consumers power over their personal information. Consumers can now require companies to disclose the personal information they have on the consumer, with whom the personal information is shared or sold, and even to delete their personal information. Any data analytics program that contains personal information needs to provide companies with the ability to track personal information and respond to these data access requests. An analytics program that does not have this capability will not be very useful. This presentation will discuss the basics of the data privacy laws and how analytics programs can implement privacy by design to add value to any business.
