ANCR Work Group

ANCR (Anchored Notice and Consent Receipt) refers to an anchored record of notice that an individual receiving a notice receipt uses to anchor a data subject relationship to the PII Controllers identity. A Consent Receipt is a token for a purpose which controls and regulates data flows. It provides both security and privacy granting of verified claims.

All notice, notifications and disclosures require, a record of processing activities and the associated authorities. The notice, and consent, receipts and records here are fit for that purpose.

The PII Controller Notice allows the PII Principal (data subject) to measure the operational transparency of the controller and its organization, with this in hand Alice can develop an understanding and begin to make risk decisions on her own behalf. This WG is publishing a set of 4 measure of transparency that we refer to as Transparency Performance Indicators (TPIs).
