How the Internet of Things is Powering the Oil And Gas Industry

The default, for many technology service providers, is to capture as much information as they can, store it, and then try and figure out how to monetize it, with little regard for the fact that all those lines of data include sensitive information about actual human lives and livelihoods. Then, we all know what happens when that data goes missing. It’s the people caught up in the breach that suffer, and not really the people who put them in that position. 

The truth is, the onus is on the organizations collecting and processing data to always do the right thing. This data privacy week, I wanted to share with you some of the ways we follow this principle at Particle. It’s especially important to us, as a platform that connects a wide range of products and services in a variety of different industries. Particle-powered products are everywhere, and with that power comes great responsibility.

Companies with hardware products are reacting to this external crisis in different ways. Leading companies like Tesla are mitigating the negative impacts on their supply chains by swapping out components and re-designing products as needed to keep shipping product. Others are stuck with whatever inventory they can get and have been forced to shut down production and slash their forecasts. Industry experts predict that this shortage will continue through 2022 and into 2023, forcing companies unable to adapt to these challenges to shut down product lines left and right.

We want to take this opportunity to introduce our latest product enhancements and upgrades across our Supply Secure Hardware Portfolio, and explain at a high level the migration path for our customers.

WE GIVE EVERYONE THE SAME SET OF RIGHTS, REGARDLESS OF WHERE THEY LIVE.

Particle’s privacy operations runbook, the guide we follow internally when responding to data subject access requests (DSAR’s), starts off by telling our security and privacy team that everyone who reaches out to us to exercise their data privacy rights, has the same set of rights.

Although technically, we could require proof of residency to exercise GDPR or CCPA rights, for example, we firmly believe that privacy rights are human rights, and as such, everyone gets a super-set of rights based on the most powerful legislation.
