Digital Identity

Who controls how I am represented online?

Profiles, records and automated classifications can affect how a person is recognised and treated. We can ask whether information is accurate, relevant and open to correction. People may need privacy or separation between different roles; authenticity does not require total exposure. Organisations that collect and use identity data have responsibilities beyond asking users to manage settings.

A question to sit with (optional): Can I see and correct the information shaping decisions about me?
