Surveillance, privacy, and the role of data in the future

Earlier this year, 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.

Surveillance, privacy, and the role of data in the future

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.

Raju Vegesna's Quote

In this 5-part series, Raju and Patrick cover consumer data, business data, adjunct surveillance, sensory surveillance, and the future of data privacy.

Over to you...

Our CEO recently said: "to have a product mindset, you have to embrace uncertainty. You can never plan a perfect product. This is the one know-how we have deeply developed in Zoho." With that in mind, we're always trying to find new ways to delight our users, even if it takes some time to execute properly. Have something that you think we should be working on? We'd love to hear about it.

Until next time,

Nick and Ritika
