The Shifting Privacy Left Podcast S2E3: Fixing Consent & Transparency on the Web with Mark Lizar (Digital Transparency Lab)
To kick off Data Privacy Week 2023, I’m joined by Mark Lizar, CEO of the Digital Transparency Lab and Founder of 0PN: Open Privacy Network.
Mark is also the Vice Chair of the IEEE Cybersecurity for Next-Generation Connectivity Systems' Human Control & Flow Sub-Committee and Editor & Lead Author of the ANCR Notice Record Specification and Framework at the Kantara Initiative.
In our conversation, we unpack the current standards and specifications for transparency and data control in the digital space. Mark shares some of the innovative solutions he and his colleagues are working on to bridge the gap in web consent.

Mark unpacks his interpretation of the open transparency standards, laws, and tech required for privacy to scale digitally. One of the major use cases he’s working on at 0PN is called ‘Do Track,’ which is a response to the shortcomings of the current ‘Do Not Track’ mechanism that we have in place today. The Controller Credential Standard allows users to specify or direct consent, and he shares some exciting examples of how users can use ‘Do Track’ to take back control over their own data.
Mark breaks down the four levels of privacy assurance achieved Controller Credential Framework and explains what’s needed to gain market traction for this privacy-enabling tech standard. He also gives us a peek into what else they’re working on over at the Digital Transparency Lab and how to get involved with the organization and their efforts..
