(firmenpresse) - SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 12/16/13 -- , the leader in in-store retail analytics, today announces it has been honored as an Organizational Ambassador by information and privacy best practice institution, (PbD). The prestigious acknowledgement highlights Euclid's dedication to ensuring consumer privacy while developing its groundbreaking "physical world" analytics solution.
"In today's growing landscape of data collection and analysis, it is essential that privacy is at the core of design," said Dr. Ann Cavoukian, Information and Privacy Commissioner for Ontario and founder of Privacy by Design. "Euclid's technology and business practices are perfectly aligned with the seven pillars of PbD. We're proud to welcome them into our group of privacy ambassadors, and we commend Euclid for an unwavering commitment to protecting consumer data."
Privacy by Design, a best practice institution, showcases companies committed to protecting consumers and making privacy assurance the default mode of operation. PbD recognizes companies and individuals based on alignment with its Seven Foundational Principles:
1. Companies should approach privacy and to anticipate privacy infractions before they occur.
2. Privacy should be a meaning that personal data is automatically protected and requires no action by an individual.
3. Privacy should be into a company's design as an essential foundation instead of a last minute addition.
4. Privacy should be and . Companies should not sacrifice capabilities and benefits in order to maintain privacy
5. Privacy requires that is extended through the entire life cycle of the data involved.
6. All technology should operate in a way that is and to both users and providers.
7. The interests of the individual are the most important and it's essential for companies to maintain for user privacy.
A pioneer in the in-store analytics space, Euclid realized early on the importance of developing a product with a foundation built on privacy to earn and maintain shopper trust. Euclid's approach ensures names, addresses, phone numbers, or other demographic data can never be collected.
"We're shoppers too," said Euclid CEO Will Smith, "so we wanted to create a powerful product that helps brick-and-mortar retailers optimize the shopping experience, yet was also something that we could be proud of and stand behind as consumers. Recognition from PbD is really important to us because protecting privacy has been integral to Euclid from the very beginning."
Building on the Privacy by Design principles, Euclid recently helped spearhead the creation of a Mobile Location Analytics (MLA) Code of Conduct alongside Sen. Charles Schumer and the Future of Privacy Forum (FPF), a privacy advocacy group. The code of conduct outlines a new set of industry standards to ensure consumer privacy while encouraging the use of technology to improve the customer experience.
