The DRCF strongly supports the Information Commissioner's Office's approach to responsible data sharing, and is working proactively with the ICO on this topic.
We strongly support responsible data sharing, especially when it helps to safeguard vulnerable people and prevent harm. Responsible data sharing can aid the prevention of data-enabled scams and fraud that target vulnerable people online. Data protection law can act as an enabler for fair and proportionate data sharing – rather than a barrier – and we’ve developed a variety of resources to help. We stand ready to support stakeholder-led initiatives which seek to promote responsible sharing of data, and we’re also developing new resources that will empower businesses to share data appropriately to mitigate fraud and scams. Our existing resources have been created to empower people and organisations to share data responsibly: ➡️ Use our Data Sharing Code of Practice as a guide on how to share personal data in a way that complies with data protection law: https://lnkd.in/eCXnq9hk ➡️ We have sector specific guidance that offers practical advice on data protection considerations when you need to share information: https://lnkd.in/eFxpy6-w ➡️ We’ve provided real world examples and case studies of different approaches to data sharing: https://lnkd.in/egh9q-YJ We’re currently working with stakeholders to understand which types of case studies and examples will support organisations to have confidence in proactively sharing information to prevent fraud and scams harms. Stakeholders include: ➡️ Other regulators as part of the Digital Regulation Cooperation Forum (DRCF) ➡️ Government ➡️ Financial ➡️ Telecoms and social media firms ➡️ Trade and anti-fraud bodies ➡️ Consumer groups. We will hold workshops with stakeholder groups as we develop these case studies. We’re eager to hear from interested stakeholders on any ideas, suggestions for useful case studies or questions about our guidance. 📨 Send us your thoughts via email to: [email protected]

🔦 We'll be shining a light on online safety practices with our new transparency powers. For the first time in the UK, certain tech services will have to publish detailed information about the safety of their platforms for all to see. We'll also have information gathering powers. This will help us understand how effective tech firms' safety measures are and address specific concerns. For example, we'll have the ability to: 🏵️ remotely view how a platform’s algorithm works in real-time. 🔎 carry out an audit of a tech firm’s safety measures or features. We're consulting on draft guidance setting out our proposed approach to transparency and information gathering. Respond by 4 October 2024.

In the last year, people have faced rising pressures on household budgets, businesses have had to work through rising costs and the UK economy has struggled to grow.

NEW: Exploring the Future of Digital Identity The DRCF has published a summary of its research on the future of digital identity, outlining potential regulatory implications. Read the article in full here https://lnkd.in/dtSFTDk2 Digital identity has potential to deliver a range of benefits, including more convenience; more accessibility and inclusion; less processing of personal data; and environmental benefits, if companies maintain fewer overlapping sets of data. However, it also gives rise to some significant risks that will need to be addressed as it develops, such as abuse by bad actors, misuse of personal data, and creation of a digital divide between those who use it and those who do not. #digitalidentity #data #regulation

Kate Jones, Digital Regulation Cooperation Forum (DRCF) CEO: "AI is not a sector, it's going to permeate everywhere" The UK has avoided new, over-arching regulation on AI. But AI companies still need to navigate regulation: enterprise customers can hesitate due to risks and copyright/IP questions shape product and technical choices, while 13 major regulators have set out their 'strategic approaches to AI. In that context, the DRCF has launched a new 'AI & Digital Hub': a pilot service support startups and innovators with questions about the AI regulatory frontier. So we spoke to Kate Jones, CEO, to hear more about her journey, the role of the DRCF in AI regulation, and what startups should expect from the new initiative: https://lnkd.in/gGSPQkA6
