Privacy Flag
In the context of IoT Week, the project was represented in two sessions on Internet of Things and privacy. It also organized a booth to present its new tools, which are based on the UPRAAM methodology to assess and support GDPR compliance in the above mentioned domains.
Tools for citizens
A first iteration/version of tools for the European citizens has been presented and is directly available on the Privacy Flag website, www.privacyflag.eu. Several tools leverage on crowdsourcing for enabling citizens to mutualize their effort in protecting their data. These new tools include:
- A browser add-on to assess in real time if a website is rather compliant or not with the GDPR;
- A smart phone application to assess in real time if the applications installed on the smartphone or an Internet of Things deployment in a smart city are rather compliant or not with the GDPR;
- An online observatory with information on privacy threats evolution for the users;
- A privacy guide proposing to citizens some relevant resources to better protect their privacy, such as privacy friendly search engines;
- A Privacy Portal: www.privacyportal.eu.
Tools and services for companies
Other tools have been developed to support companies in complying with the GDPR. Archimede Solutions presented a UPRAAM based certification scheme on data protection: www.europrivacy.org EuroPrivacy has been developed according to ISO requirements in order to certify compliance of products, services and IoT deployments (such as smart cities) with the GDPR. The tool appeared on the national TV news in Switzerland.
