There is an expectation to abide by regulatory frameworks that place limitations on using data beyond specified purposes. Businesses also need to narrow down on what\u2019s relevant and gather data that is genuinely expected to improve consumers\u2019 experience, drive innovation or solve a particular challenge. It\u2019s important to stay in context.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>The evolution of data regulation<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With governments around the world starting to draft privacy regulations, the world is witnessing new challenges and opportunities that impact businesses and consumers. For the MENA region,&nbsp;an integrated approach, similar to GDPR needs to set the benchmark and&nbsp;create a clear compliance environment for businesses, and foster greater regional economic integration.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Demonstrating privacy compliance<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">National and regional regulatory frameworks must clearly define how a business can demonstrate privacy compliance. For example, the GDPR provides businesses\/organisations with a set of tools to help demonstrate accountability, some of which have to be mandatorily put in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>The positive use of data in innovation<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Data-driven innovation can improve and foster new products, processes and methods. For businesses, it promises the optimisation of value chains, more efficient use of labour and tailored customer relationships. For the public sector, it can help create a connected city with better infrastructure, smart solutions &amp; develop efficiencies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Uber\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uber.com\/en-EG\/newsroom\/uber-launches-its-first-mena-wide-series-of-events-called-ignite\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ignite<\/a>\u00a0series launched in January 2021.
