Today the Application Developers Alliance launched a Working Group to champion data driven innovation. The Data, Analytics, and Security Working Group will develop best practices for transparent and secure collection, analysis, storage, sharing, and use of consumer data. The Group will also help shape global public policies that are balanced and protect innovative data use.
…“Developers are using data to build products that make us smarter, healthier, and more efficient, but with these innovations comes the need to ensure data collection is transparent and secure,” said Jon Potter, President of the Application Developers Alliance.
