6. There are the “giants” like Google, Facebook, and
Twitter…
There are organizations and agencies like the Florida
DMV…
There are “Mom & Pop” operations that specialize…
From tens of billions to millions down to hundreds of
thousands of dollars—personal information is a
profitable market for all.

7. The more “detailed” the profile, the more valuable it is.

8. Markets for buying and selling data.
Uses are infiniteresearch, monitoring, predictive
modeling, advertising and privacy eco-systems, government
agencies.

16. Consumers very fearful of behavioral
targeting.
Government is signaling that concern with
new legislation.
Must invest in this area (whether it’s a
product or service).

17. U.S.: more than 30 federal statutes, 100 state
regulations for data security and privacy.
EU and other countries: far more restrictive.
Pending legislation in all regions with more
rigorous controls.
Bottom line: Engage with a law firm that specializes in
privacy, security, technology and IP or make sure that your firm
has this specialty.

18. Google gets it right:
Share what data you collect, how you use
it, and whether you sell it to third parties.
Be explicit about data retention.
Be explicit about what you can protect and
what you cannot (anti-terrorism laws).
Use opt-ins only for data collection and
sharing.

19. When things go wrong (and they will) know how you
are going to deal with them.
Get a team and process in place and be ready to
respond.
Pre-digital age: crisis management was about staying ahead of
the story. Now, it’s about staying with the story, if you can.

20. Be transparent about what you
collect and how you use it.
Think global – customs and laws
differ. EU compliance is a good
starting point.
Breaches are inevitable – be
ready.
Behave – consumers don’t have
to play as this is a trust business.
