Submit Your Ideas on Personal Data Use

Who do you trust? Throughout our rich digital lives, business, government and others are collecting information and data about us. This raises opportunities, concerns and risks about the use of such personal data. This data, if secured and protected, can be used to address a variety of social challenges in more efficient and innovative ways. To explore these issues, the World Economic Forum is currently working on a Rethinking Personal Data project, to examine the key questions surrounding responsible personal data use in the digital age.

We want your thoughts on who you DO and DON'T trust with your personal data. Help us imagine what the future of personal-data-informed experiences COULD be! We want to see your fresh ideas on this inspired by the world around you.

Share your stories and insights with us by submitting photos of:

• Devices, brands, and environments you DO or DON’T trust with your personal data
• Objects or environments that you would WANT to collect or access your personal data in exchange for improved user experiences
• Symbols, marks, and messaging that you come across in the world that COMMUNICATE trust, or the opposite – that make you feel INSECURE about your data

Please submit your ideas here: http://frogmob.frogdesign.com/mob/personal-data

Your stories will directly contribute to the World Economic Forum’s Rethinking Personal Data project and report to be published in Feburary 2011.

I trust only myself with my data. That is the only system that has my own best interest at heart. A system such as Wisekey could be used to provide the solution. A system where I can monitor what is released. I could use it to meter out necessary information under my control as required. It could be stipulated that I own this information and can only for the intended purpose of the release. This would satisfy both my privacy concerns and the immediate needs of organizations I choose to receive the data.

Since many of us(individuals,companies,governments,institutions etc) are not comfortable with 100% free flow of data,its important to ensure that at least we have a say on who can use or have access to our dataand for what purpose.This will ensure it does not fall into the wrong hands(whether individuals,government,companies,institutions etc).TRUST is vital together with SECURITY as we feel more comfortable if our personal information is in the hands of government,corporation or individuals we TRUST and feel our SECURITY guaranteed.

I think a key theme is that we are on the cusp of a social change to how ‘personal’ data is perceived. The younger generation are growing up in a world where they have only ever known social media as a norm, as an extension of life. Yes, there are security issues, but young people only associate this concept with their online banking. As time goes on, having a vast amount of information about you and your personal history (tools like Four Square and Facebook will even show where you went for coffee on such and such a day, if you want them to) in infinite detail, will be widely accepted. It’s only the ‘older generation’ that won’t get it. That includes me, by the way.
