Internet of Things Privacy Forum

The IoT Privacy Forum is an international, nonprofit think/do tank producing guidance, analysis, research and best practices to enable industry and government to reduce privacy risk by innovating responsibly in the domain of connected devices. Our work is inherently multidisciplinary, involving policy, law, business, governance, engineering, usability, security, and social science.

We focus on the privacy issues of:

    -Complete systems: connected cars, wearables, robots, TVs with voice commands, drones, virtual assistants, toys
    -Technologies: computer vision, speech processing, microphones, sensors, and authentication
    -Contexts: smart home, smart city, retail, workplace, consumer devices, eHealth

Our vision is a world of connected devices where privacy values are preserved through a combination of ethical business practices, user-centered technical design, sound regulation, and fundamental respect for citizen welfare. It is our intention to be a hub for critical thinking.
