What do people think should happen with location data?

Trust thought for today - just banging on as usual about the importance of regulation and enforcement to ensure trustworthy tech and inspire public trust.

Here are conclusions from a public dialogue from the Geospatial Commission and Ada Lovelace Institute about the use of location data.

In terms of #tech #ethics #trust why not just take out the term 'location data' and insert the name of your own tech/area of work and then do what they suggest!!


"When reflecting on how the benefits and concerns of location data could be balanced, participants reflected on various conditions that
suggest four components of ethical and trustworthy location data use:

1. Intent to benefit society
Participants think that why location data is used and who benefits from it are important when considering whether location data use is ethical and trustworthy, and that benefits to members of the public or wider society should be prioritised.

2. Effective accountability
Participants think data collectors should be accountable to regulators and data subjects, with consequences for breaches or misuse, and they questioned whether current governance is effective in achieving this.

3. Accessible transparency
Participants want data collectors to communicate in an accessible way what location data will be used for, who will have access, and how it will be stored, so people can make informed choices and ensure accountability.

4. Enable agency
Participants want more genuine ways to consent to and participate in
ongoing data storage and use, and greater choice over how their data is used.
