CILIP Privacy Project Policy, CILIP August 2017
Setting the Context: Why privacy? • Privacy and confidentiality are fundamental to CILIP’s Code of Ethics • Respondents to Shape the future put Privacy in the top 10 priority policy agendas for CILIP to address during the lifetime of the Action Plan (2016-2020) • Our user privacy guidelines are old and they do not cover the role of CILIP members in ensuring a compliant and ethical approach to the management of information within the commercial sector • The concept and practice of online data privacy are undergoing rapid change and challenge from the private sector and the state
But... • Our profession has not seen a corresponding change in its practices • There has been little debate about possible conflict of interests between providers of services and users/ consumers of those services • Information professionals have to a certain extent been bypassed in the design and implementation of systems which collect personal information of the user
Purpose of the Privacy project To find out how CILIP can best support and advise information and library workers, managers and leaders so that they can: • Ensure that the privacy of the personal data of users is protected • Support users and citizens in understanding the issues, trade-offs and risks concerning privacy and personal data to enable individuals to make informed and effective decisions about their data and effectively manage it in an online environment • ensure a compliant and ethically sound approach to the management of information in companies and the public sector
Practical outcomes Sustainable for five years: • Advice to the Ethics Review in regard to privacy and freedom of access to information • A user guide/s on privacy for information and library practitioners across all sectors • A policy statement and an Information Rights Charter
How we will achieve this • A consultation discussion document which sets out the key issues to be addressed and asks questions of key individuals and sector bodies • A survey of CILIP membership • Privacy workshops in the devolved nations (& England?) • Telephone interviews with a selected group of experts • Incorporation of the findings from Carnegie UK Trust’s project Privacy and public benefit (public library focused)
Timeline The project began June 2017 and will last for a year which includes implementation and review
What we have done so far • Initial scoping of the project • PID signed off • Produced Consultation discussion paper noting key issues to address • Set up Core project group and expert advisory group Next steps • Phase 3 Engagement communicationwith key stakeholders using consultation discussion paper’s 20 questions as a guide
