Juergen Weichert and Kimberli Lewis Discuss Tracing and Tracking Apps During a Pandemic in the Age of Privacy

During the Corona crisis, tech has been a blessing in many ways. But the use of tracking and tracing apps in various countries have raised the question whether we are putting our privacy at stake.

 

Phoenix, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/28/2020 -- In this episode of Leadership Beyond Borders with Kimberli Lewis, Juergen Weichert, CRO of Munich based ad tech company Usercentrics, talks about the use of tracking and tracing apps in the wake of the corona crisis and why the crucial question is how the data is being stored. Furthermore, he discusses the concept of Consent Management Platforms and explains how website and app operators can keep their Opt-in rates high whilst being legally compliant. Finally, he offers a glimpse of what the future holds for Consent and Preference Management and what website and app operators can do to be prepared.

The episode will be aired on June 16th at 3:00 PM (Pacific Time) on Voice America Business Channel.

Juergen Weichert is the CRO of Usercentrics and has more than 20 years of experience in sales, marketing and business development. As CRO, the former Head of Strategic Partner Development DACH at Google, is responsible for sales, strategic partnerships and the development of new markets.

Lewis, who also runs Global Business Therapy, engages Weichert on a topic that did not exist three months ago in our everyday lives. Not only is online tracking to be used for virus tracing new, but it propelled the argument of privacy in the name of global health to the forefront of the conversation. Although there are no easy answers, the discussion presents both sides of the equation and takes a glimpse into where this may go in the future.
