Here’s to a bright New Year from the Zoho family. May this year bring happiness, achievements, and new inspirations to your life. | | | | | | | In this issue of Zoho Times, we talk about: | | | | Surveillance, privacy, and the role of data in the future | | | | | | | Say hello to Zoho Puvi—our down-to-earth typeface | | | | | | | | Work re-imagined with all-new Zoho Workplace | | | | | | | | | | Surveillance, privacy, and the role of data in the future | | | At the start of 2019, we announced that we were removing every third-party tracker from our site. We achieved this goal a few months ago, and since then we've made it clear that we're committed to protecting our users' privacy. | | | | | | | Zoho's Chief Evangelist, Raju Vegesna, recently talked with industry analyst Patrick Moorhead about the ever-present role of surveillance in tech. When talking about consumer surveillance, Raju said that "at this point, the tracking that takes place is so prevalent that it is almost impossible not to be surveilled. You pretty much have to go offline." Raju believes that businesses need to draw a line between what's legally acceptable and what's morally acceptable. | | In this 5-part series, Raju and Patrick cover consumer data, business data, adjunct surveillance, sensory surveillance and the future of data privacy. | | | | 80% of Canadian Businesses Don't Inform Website Visitors of Third-Party Tracking | | A recent study by CRM Essentials LLC show that only 38% of Canadian businesses have a well-defined, documented policy for customer data privacy.
