Transparency Performance Reporting (TPR) is a novel approach to digital transparency and data control reporting, pioneered by the same group that specified Notice and Consent Receipts at the Kantara Initiative. This represents a significant advancement for decentralising decentralizing digital identification and data surveillance governance within data flows.
The initial Transparency Performance Report v0.9 is posted for comment at the ANCR Wiki. Focused It is focused on evaluating the validity, security, sovereignty, and accountability of digital consent. The first It is a tool to see expose dark patterns and secret surveillance, follows up . It builds on the consent receipt specification by offering standard transparency over data adding standardized transparency with regards to the sovereignty of data and consent and its validity in conjunction with digital identification systems.
“Transparency reporting is a revolution in digital governance. While we've had the standard for a consent receipt since 2014, standard transparency over whether consent is valid is now essential for using consent in international data transfers. Transparency reporting is crucial to scale meaningful consent, making it more than just another compliance tool,” says Mark Lizar, Editor of the ANCR v1. Transparency Performance Valid Consent Report, recently posted on Feb 14 for public review by the Kantara Initiative Community.
The ANCR transparency and consent work has a 'bottom-up' history, originating as the Notice and Consent Receipt brought to Kantara in 2013 by the Open Notice Initiative, and before that, the Identity Commons in California. This initiative aimed to create standards addressing “the Biggest Lie on the Internet,” a campaign against terms and conditions in support of do-not-track. Transparency performance reporting clarifies when a notice and consent receipt is required.
The Notice and Kantara Consent Receipt v1.1 specification has been influential, eventually being drafted in conjunction with ISO/IEC Online privacy notice and consent standard (29814), also known as JTC 1, SC 27, WG 5 – the international standards group focused on privacy and identity management. Beginning at Identity Commons, the project reached the international stage through the Kantara Initiative. The Notice and Consent receipt schema itself has now become evolved into an ISO/IEC technical standard, currently called 27560 Consent record information structure.
