An ethical ecosystem of personal data requires core values of ethics to be built into the project development, assessment, and oversight processes. Stephen Kai-yi Wong, the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data, Hong Kong, China, opened last year’s International Conference by saying that digital economies require privacy accountability and data governance. Working with the Hong Kong business community and the Information Accountability Foundation, the Commissioner has developed a framework for determining when a data use beyond common understanding is fair. The framework, which is to be introduced at this session, is a means for introducing data ethics into the project development process. While curated in Hong Kong, the framework links to similar processes in Europe and North America. At this session, we will introduce the framework, provide examples, and solicit feedback from the international community.
