Smart technology continues to increase its presence in ways that can improve lives – but when data is collected without clarity or consent, trust breaks down.


In this report our SDP Roundtable collaborated with leading data and privacy thought leaders to delve into how within our organisations we can build ethical systems that serve both innovation and inclusion.


The report delves into more detail of three key themes:


  • From smart homes to businesses, data systems impact us all in powerful ways.

  • Privacy isn't just about compliance – it's about trust, legitimacy, and respect for the human behind the data.

  • It’s time to treat communities as stakeholders, not just data sources.
