Introduction:
The Best Practice Forum on Data and New Technologies in an Internet Context wants to establish a dialogue on how users' data is collected, analyzed and used, and best practices to ensure that the data is used to bring benefit and not to harm users.
COVID-19 has accelerated this debate in various ways, however, several of the concerns pre-date the pandemic and similar challenges exist in different contexts.
The BPF has mapped challenges and potential issues that may arise when data is collected and used, and compiled them in a Data and New Technologies Issues Card.
The BPF is now looking for case studies and examples of how stakeholders address the challenges that emerge when collecting and using users' data. The case studies should help the BPF with identifying existing practices that contribute to ensuring that users’ data is used in such a way that the users benefit from their data and that their data is not used to harm them.
Possible case studies:
The BPF is interested in case studies related as well as unrelated to COVID-19.
Instructions:
