*Our Premise*
As the Internet, and organisational customer management processes, re-architect and re-configure themselves around the individual, a need will emerge to have information sharing agreements built to meet the needs of the individuals (data subjects). This is in contrast to the more common current 'tick the box' model, in which information sharing agreements are defined and deployed by organisations, and individuals invited to agree (or not).
This group proposes to build on work done to date by Mydex CIC, and within the Information Sharing Work Group, to define, test and publish a standardised approach to an information sharing agreement as seen from the individual perspective.
Rather than tackle the entire set of options at one swoop, we will focus on on particular class of information, and use that to act as the prototype for others. The class we will use in this initial design is 'Volunteered Personal Information', which in this case we define as the information that an individual will not share under the current modus operandi. This new class of information is discussed many times in our automotive scenario, and in our personal RFP documentation.
We envisage using contract law as the basis for establishing legally binding relationships between information provider (the individual), and information consumer (most typically, an organisation). In that sense, an individual makes information available under contract to any entity that wishes to access it, subject to that organisation being able to accept the terms and conditions associated with that contract.
