Document Abstract:
Transparency Performance Reporting (TPR) is a novel approach to digital transparency and data control reporting. TPR clarifies when a notice and consent receipt is required and its validity and provides a litmus test for valid consent. TPR uses 4 transparency performance indicators (TPIs) – the timing of the notice, the content of the notice, access and usefulness of the notice, and sovereignty of authority and security – to measure the transparency of the Personally Identifiable Information (PII) Controller notice of risk to the personal data of the PII Principal. This represents a significant advancement for decentralizing digital identification and data surveillance governance within data flows.
TPR includes mapping to privacy frameworks including Convention 108+, a commonwealth data governance framework that covers 2.5 billion people, and with it an interoperable set of requirements for security and privacy. The mappings show how the TPIs address the requirements for records of processing activities (GDPR Article 30), enable services to be accountable to international (internet) standards for data governance, and create a technical record foundation in a common set of rules allowing people to have their authoritative records of digital identification relationships.
TPR was developed through volunteer work over three years in the Kantara Initiative Anchored Notice and Consent Receipt Work Group (ANCR) as a means of understanding and addressing ubiquitous platform and application surveillance while promoting glass-box security and privacy legal standards.
