Conversations around privacy and data security are increasing everyday. The government has tabled a Personal Data Protection bill in the parliament, and a Joint Parliamentary Committee has presented its report on the potential and concerns regarding privacy and personal data.
There is a need to do data privacy across domains and at scale, especially around the following themes:
The Privacy Mode Fellowship programme is set in this context. The goal of the programme is to work with practitioners to document practices that can be widely adopted across the industry, and innovated upon. The programme is particularly interested in showcasing:
- Privacy-related challenges that practitioners are solving, and the context around these.
- Solutions, and evidence of how these solutions have been implemented in different organizations.
- Results achieved through the solutions - a before and after explanation of what changed, and metrics achieved.
Check out the Best Practices Guides to understand the type of topics that the Fellowship is looking at.
