Join many of our Customer Commons board members as they work to support the transition of the IEEE published standard “IEEE 7012-2025 IEEE Standard for Machine Readable Personal Privacy Terms” into a widely adopted, continuously advanced, trusted foundation for personal privacy terms (MyTerms).

MyData Global and the Customer Commons Board are working together to map out an alliance, similar in ways to the Cloud Security Alliance or the Wi-Fi Alliance. We want to help people and organizations to adopt and evolve the standards-based MyTerms technology – restoring the balance of power and trust between individuals and the organizations that serve them.

We are working to craft our purpose, mission, and vision statements as well as establish a solid foundation for other organizations to join. If you have expertise in this kind of activity, reach out to contact@myterms.info.

Join us for the Internet Identity Workshop (IIW), held every Spring and Fall at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California. Customer Commons board members were among the original founders of this unique unconference, and continue to attend and lead sessions. IIW has been finding, probing and solving identity issues twice every year since 2005, and is one of the world’s most leveraged events. Each one is also preceded by VRM Day, which is held by ProjectVRM and Customer Commons. The next IIW will be November 3-5th, 2026, and the next VRM Day will be on 2 November 2026.

The Customer Commons Board is actively attending and speaking at privacy and consumer advocate conferences. We also partner with other organizations to educate and share about digital privacy, standards development, and your rights as a user. We will post on our home page and make available on YouTube when these events are planned.
