Technology and data

We advise software and platform companies, device and component makers, data businesses and the operators of licensed autonomous systems. Their questions are increasingly the same: what does the product collect, where does it go, who can see it, and what was the customer told?

Those questions are asked by researchers, campaigners, regulators and journalists who often understand the technology as well as the company does. The answers have to be precise. A statement that is exactly true and no wider than the facts survives scrutiny; a reassuring one rarely does. Our technology work therefore draws heavily on the Desk, which knows who is asking and what they already know.
