TECHNOLOGY AND PRIVACY
Once her time in Seattle ended, Aki began offering her services to companies that needed support in developing apps and other web based or technological products. Aki began to realize that almost every product, from games to day trading software, had a substantial privacy component. Even before the GDPR required “privacy by design” she was working to make sure that everything she was asked to offer advice on had an underpinning of privacy knowledge. It’s not enough to just follow the law, it’s important to anticipate and build an ethical culture of innovation. While she continued to work with consumer data, offering legal advice and privacy implementation oversight for technology-based products, and designing, developing, and implementing state and federally compliant programs and policies as well as advertising and marketing, she was also working to build a culture of innovation with her clients that was sustainable, efficient and found solutions instead of “no’s”.
In addition to working toward ethical, efficient and money saving innovation she found herself working more and more on sales contracts and purchasing contracts surrounding cloud based software, hosting services, and data privacy addendums. Nearly half of her practice became negotiating agreements regarding software, hardware, networks and other technology services.
She is available to help your organization develop products, with ethics training and with strategic technology purchasing.
