Description

Did you know?

  • 60% of school apps leak student information to Big Tech?
  • Most mobile apps create persistent channels to third party data brokers who can share your data far and wide?
  • More than half of US adults don’t know that agreeing to Terms of Use is a contract that may bind them to allow personal data sharing?

Your Personal Information is none of anyone’s Business. IA can help keep it that way.

Are you creating products that respect the needs and autonomy of your users?
Would you like to learn how to evaluate your digital products for respectful behavior?

It’s possible to measure ethical behavior of technology and Information Architecture is a key component. Join Noreen Whysel and you will Learn:

  • How can Information Architecture inform the design of safe and respectful apps and websites?
  • What is the Me2BA Safe & Respectful Technology Specification?
  • How can you get involved?
