Why data privacy will be the catalyst for digital identity adoption
2021-03-15 05:30

What digital identities could be, if we put data privacy at their core, is selective.

Each time it's needed, your digital identity only reveals what needs to be revealed at that time and keeps the rest of your data safely hidden.

While putting data privacy at the core of digital identities is critical, it's not the only step to take to increase trust.

The digital ID system would have brought their physical identity cards together with a citizen digital certificate, and their health and driving license data.

Whoever emerges the victor in the race to create digital identities needs to remember one thing: being transparent with data collection and privacy will be critical to getting people onboard.

Digital IDs not only promise us fast and seamless user experiences, regulatory compliance, and an easier way to do business - they'll also offer us privacy and protection that we can't get from an identity system stymied by rising data breaches.
