ANCR WG: Announces an Open Notice Controller Credential to champion the standardization of Digital Privacy Transparency and to mark the occasion, and our activities, we use the name Digital Privacy Day.

3 New Workstreams and Projects

  1. An Open Notice Controller: TPI Record & Credential n An Open Notice Controller Credential (ONCC) contains all the required information and guidance to embed required information for self-asserted digital privacy notice records.

    1. The ONCC is specified to CoE Convention 108+, GDPR, and produces records which can be used for ISO/IEC 29184 Online privacy notice and consent, conformity assessments. This furthers the work done in the stanards development to date with a specification for standard open digital privacy access with a digital privacy framework for PII Controllers,

  2. Transparency Performance Indicators, used to make a notice record and measure transparency performance

    1. The TPIs are used to create a digital privacy transparency record with ISO/IEC 29100 privacy framework for definition and terms.

  3. 2 Factor Concentric Notice (2FCN), used to generate a proof of notice record and an evidence of consent receipt, with an Notice Record or ONCC, depending on the stakeholder generating the record.

    1. A 2FCN is used to implement or enhance existing privacy service practices and is designed to replace terms and conditions with a consent receipt, it used the core interoperable schema specification of the Consent Receipt V1.1.
