Consider implementing a "Privacy Innovation Challenge" within your organization. Encourage employees to come up with innovative solutions to protect data privacy while fostering technological advancements. Offer incentives, such as recognition or rewards, for creative ideas that successfully strike the balance between privacy and innovation. This approach not only engages your team in actively thinking about privacy solutions but also taps into the collective intelligence of your workforce, potentially uncovering unique and effective strategies for data protection that might not have been considered otherwise.

Hi Olga
That was an interesting viewpoint. Can you share an example of an interesting aspect you may have come across previously unknown to you , post having conducted such a challenge with your staff?

The sooner privacy is embedded in projects, the easier it is to comply. So, first you should adopt the "Privacy by Design" principle.
Then, privacy regulations are not YES/NO type, they are risk-based. So, building a prepare risk assessment methodology may help balance the innovation VS privacy rights/requirements.
Last, privacy team should never say no to projects, instead, they should talk with the business to develop option that maintain innovation while still being compliant (in accordance with your risk appetite).

Hint: use anonymization as much as possible, this gets you out of any privacy concerns.

For those involved in eCommerce on the legal side, how do you define that role and what type of work is in scope?  This recently came under the purview of our legal privacy group, but we're finding that everyone seems to have a different idea of what eCommerce means.  Some just see anything related to the internet/technology and kick it over to us.  So we're trying to benchmark against other attorneys that advise on eCommerce and the types of work that typically fall within your scope. Any thoughts or insights would be much appreciated.

Historically, we've asked employees to complete an annual conflicts disclosure form, which has had the consequence of requiring employees to re-submit the same information year over year.  I'm curious if other companies follow this model or, if not, what alternative designs have you implemented.
