NTIA Announces First Privacy Stakeholder Meeting

Mobile Commerce Privacy/Cyber Risk & Data Security

On June 15, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) announced that the first meeting of a privacy multistakeholder process will be held on July 12, 2012. The meeting is the first in a series intended to produce a code of conduct that will provide transparency in the handling of personal data by mobile application and services companies. The multistakeholder process derives from the White House’s Privacy Blueprint released in February 2012, which set forth a Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights and designed the multistakeholder process to develop legally enforceable codes of conduct across diverse business contexts.
