If there is anyone in business who still needs to be convinced that there is a significant shift in the control and management of Personal Information from insecure organisational data silos to Personal Data Stores managed and controlled by the individual then have a look at Respect Network and the fast growing community of companies [...]
The Personal Cloud Network joining Personal Data Stores
Social Prophecy
We have long been concerned about the issues of privacy and confidentiality on the web as a skim through my old blogs will attest. At that time neither individuals, businesses nor government recognised this as an issue – indeed, individuals were pouring out detailed personal information to anyone who asked, companies were collecting, harvesting and [...]
Conference Season – Autumn 2011
It started for me with a fascinating lunch hosted by the Information Technologists’ Company on HQS Wellington. As always, an impressive keynote speaker in Professor Richard Susskind OBE but you’ll have to ask David Blunkett about his concerns regarding Home Office confidentiality –I thought you were supposed to kiss a lot of frogs, not let [...]
Implementing PbD – Privacy by Design
The Canadian Government has long led the way regarding Privacy over Personal Information and this position is reinforced by the White Paper ‘Privacy by Design in Law, Policy and Practice’ published in August 2011 by Ann Cavoukian, Ph.D., the Information and Privacy Commissioner, Ontario, Canada. The paper reflects and endorses what we at PAOGA have [...]
Building My Business
Albeit that PAOGA is my 9th start-up I am very aware that the market changes significantly so ‘experience’ needs to be constantly challenged and lessons learnt. For that reason I was pleased to attend ‘Building the next generation of growth and wealth in the UK and Europe’ event last week hosted by Michael Tinmouth, Editor [...]

These two US companies have openly declared their ambition to 'own' all the data and personal information that passes through them – and, unless I am mistaken, that means that it [...]
What does PAOGA do?
Sony and their customers have suffered the problem that we are looking to address. They have incurred huge costs and reputational damage because they are responsible for a 'honeypot' containing the personal and financial details of 77m individuals, their most valuable assets, who now don't trust them. 77m individuals who are now at risk of [...]
PAOGA Digital Document Exchange
The digital revolution has resulted in many document based transactions being replaced by electronic authorisation, rather than signed documents. For instance credit card authorisation, tax returns and Companies House returns are all now done ‘online’. However the majority of legal and financial documents still require ‘hard’ copies, ‘wet’ signatures, and physical transportation either by post [...]
80% of people concerned about their personal details online
Information Commissioner, Christopher Graham, supported by Lord McNally, Minister of State at the Ministry of Justice are right to recognise the urgency of this issue but 'understanding the law and your rights' alone is not sufficient if unenforceable. According to research by Privacy International and Virtual Identity and Privacy Research Center, Switzerland, the Personal Information of a European [...]
Privacy International Video
In case you haven't seen it, have a look at this video posted by Simon Davies, Founder and President of Privacy International. Data from Privacy International on Vimeo. The article Facebook apps plundered for personal details in The Sunday Times by Sean O'Driscoll yesterday again reinforces the dangers of security and accountability on the internet. [...]
