The Internet of Things (IoT) encourages product-based companies to create smart and connected products. Smart, connected products enable companies to gain access to product usage data. One law that raises data privacy concerns is Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This regulation protects the above-mentioned personal data relating to car use, energy consumption and machine operation.
Product-driven companies are trying to discover data-driven business opportunities. Data privacy is also becoming a key hurdle for product-based businesses. Legal and regulatory requirements, as well as customer privacy preferences, can limit business activities. If companies earn customer trust, they can turn data-driven innovation and data privacy into a competitive advantage.
Data privacy can pose not only a threat, but also an opportunity to gain a competitive advantage. To build trust, companies must adopt a user-centric perspective. The condition for data exchange is to build trust among customers and users. When customers trust product providers, these companies can obtain legal consent from their users to exchange data in accordance with GDPR.
Data-driven companies require seamless data exchange between product users and product suppliers. To build trust, companies must adopt a user-centric perspective. Few companies are already GDPR compliant or have developed public privacy policies. Apple’s privacy policy goes hand in hand with its business model.
Digital trust can be used as an umbrella term for behavioral and cultural guidelines around data privacy, security, and AI ethics. To engender digital trust, managers must implement company-wide digital initiatives. Companies must ensure that personal data is only used for the specific purposes to which the user has consented.
Companies that fail to build trust may struggle to achieve high utilization rates of their digital services. Companies must ensure that they share data in a way that is consistent with users’ privacy preferences. Customer privacy preferences are heterogeneous and lead to individual consent decisions for each ecosystem partner.
Some companies may not be able to capture enough personal data in their own products. The success of advertising-based business models depends on a company’s ability to share data. If data is shared within companies between multiple legally independent business units, consents between them must be managed. A single customer ID is the key to transparent consent management.
If data is shared within companies between multiple legally independent business units, consents between them must be managed. To manage individual user consent, companies must clearly identify the customer. A single customer ID is the key to transparent consent management. Companies should also adopt an organization-centric perspective to turn data privacy into a competitive advantage.
Companies need to bridge the gap between legal and business initiatives. They should identify how they can further develop their legal apparatuses and make them more effective. Companies should also adopt an organization-centric perspective to turn data privacy into a competitive advantage. Many legal experts take a counterproductive approach of turning data into business opportunities.
Data protection used to be a technical issue; today it is mainly a legal matter. Lawyers must guide business developers through the legal solutions space and synchronize legal solutions with business solutions. Companies need a clear risk-taking process that calculates risk for digital service design decisions. The impact of these decisions makes them strategic management decisions.
Data protection used to be a technical issue; today it is mainly a legal matter. Data-driven business models and the reasons for sharing and processing data may vary, and legal issues should be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Legal matters and contracts resulting from negotiations must be stored centrally, which will enable the exchange of knowledge between lawyers.
New court cases result from both the increase in the number of initiatives in the field of digital services and the introduction of new global regulations. Companies want to minimize legal risk by entering into agreements with multiple partners within ecosystems where data is shared for various purposes. Legal technology can support lawyers in negotiations by identifying similar contractual situations and the negotiation strategies used.
Companies need to be aware of emerging regulations. Privacy is not just a topic that needs to be addressed to comply with privacy laws. This privacy policy should be an integral part of every marketing campaign. Management must ensure that risk management systems are in place with roles that identify these risks.
