This presentation will focus on how PETs relate to data protection law and identifying potential areas for PETs implementation and how to do so effectively. This will follow into a focus on the future direction of PETs maturity and standardisation efforts.
David will discuss the importance of a customer-centric approach to building PET-based applications. He will provide examples of how too much emphasis on the merits of technologies can often lead to misalignment between service providers and potential adopters and how a customer-centric approach can bridge this gap. David will share lessons learned over the past two years of talking to customers to understand their pain, concerns, fears, and expectations when it comes to dealing with data and how that ended up being the best compass for Algemetric's decisions. He will also discuss how customers have a unique insight into their business problems and how listening to them in every step of building a solution can be beneficial for developing successful PET-based solutions
