The executive body of the European Union signed an agreement today titled Privacy and Data Protection Impact Assessment (PIA) Framework for RFID Applications (PDF), intended to safeguard consumer privacy and offer assurances to citizens that RFID [Radio Frequency Identification] and connected devices are safe for industry to develop. The agreement creates a four-step process for assessment of new tracking applications, basically requiring that risks, mitigation strategies and remaining costs in terms of privacy all be articulated explicitly whenever a new system that tracks a previously unconnected object or device is brought to market.
