Just a few weeks ago, global privacy experts from around the world gathered in Washington, D.C., for the 2018 Global Privacy Summit. Hosted by the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP), the conference focused on the ins-and-outs of privacy laws and procedures. Several ID Experts leaders attended, including Jonathan Boston, senior vice president of global sales, and Doug Pollack, chief marketing officer. In what follows, they discussed their key takeaways and highlight the trending topics at the conference. Their words have been edited for clarity.

Every organization’s IT department manages the daily computer issues that arise, from lockouts to hardware issues. Just as we provide working computer keyboards and reset passwords when they’ve been forgotten, we also manage the overall online security environment as well.

Many of the apps we add to our phone not only rely on our location to give us the information we’re looking for but also make a note of and keep a history of it. The location history created through our phone every day reveals much about our personal habits.

But, of course, some apps – like Find My Phone or Find My Friends – always need location services on.
