PrivacySiG is happy to welcome Boundless Digital as member.

Boundless Digital issued the following statement regarding their joining
​
In the age of digital transformation and big data, our personal data has never been so easily available. Recently, Cambridge Analytica data scandal has shaken the Internet so much that the legislation on data protection has been strengthened especially in Europe, with the adoption and implementation, on May 25, of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Despite taking tougher sanctions against unscrupulous actors, now is the time for mistrust. People are worried about how and for what purpose some of their personal data is collected. It is therefore up to retailers to restore trust between themselves and their customers by guaranteeing transparency.
 
At Boundless Digital (formerly Ivizone), we have always paid attention to data security. We did not wait for the GDPR to develop solutions that respect the privacy of users. The data we collect is systematically anonymized and we can not collect qualified data without first obtaining the explicit consent of their owners. With Boundless Digital solutions, people know what will be done with their personal data before agreeing. While our goal is to help retailers better understand the expectations of their visitors to boost their business, the brand-customer relationship must be "win-win". 86% of French people are willing to spend more in stores that are ethical in the management of their data. Establishing a relationship of trust with its customers is therefore a paying strategy for retailers!
 
To mark his commitment to the security of personal data, Boundless Digital has joined The PrivacySIG. This association, which campaigns to ensure the respect of consumer privacy, brings together retail intelligence stakeholders behind a code of conduct. Each new member must prove that he respects a number of principles, such as the anonymization of data, the security of data transfer, the transparency of information delivered to consumers, the possibility for the user to refuse to appear in the database, etc. By joining the community The PrivacySIG, we have the ambition to lead the way and build together a retail that respects the privacy of consumers.

PrivacySiG is happy to welcome PFM Footfall Intelligence as member.

PFM shared the following comment
Based on our assessment of the GDPR, we decided to join PrivacySIG. Not only because ‘Codes of Conduct’ are promoted by the GDPR, but also to demonstrate to our stakeholders that our organization is aware of what is needed to conduct lawful processing of personal data. We believe it will benefit us all if we collectively address the specific needs and work together to apply GDPR requirements.

The privacySIG group will hold it's annual general assembly on 19th of March in the Netherlands kindly hosted by Bluemark.

The members of the PrivacySIG are realeasing today their view on privacy in WiFi analytics. This joint effort of the members reflect our approach and some ideas on the future of privacy in regards to WiFi analytics.

PrivacySIG is happy to announce that Amoobi has joined the privacySIG. Amoobi is a Belgium based company created in 2011, delivering customer flow analysis for retailers across Europe.

Olivier Delangre, CEO of Amoobi commented "We are happy to join the PrivacySIG. Respect of privacy has always been a very important topic for us and we are delighted to contribute and strengthen a European approach to this topic. We have found inside the PrivacySIG a group of like-minded entrepreneurs focused on delivering added value to their customers while respecting and strengthening the privacy of consumers". 

We are happy to announce the founding of the Privacy Special Interest Group. The group is a collaboration between multiple companies which have a leading role in the next generation of visitor and customer analytics.
