\nInternational Association of Privacy Professionals recognizes TELUS Data for Good program that helps officials stem the spread of COVID-19 while ensuring Canadians\u2019 privacy
\n<\/h2>\n

TORONTO, Nov. 23, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TELUS has been awarded the HPE-IAPP Privacy Innovation Award <\/u><\/a>by the International Association of Privacy Professionals in recognition of its Data for Good program<\/u><\/a>. Launched in April 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Data for Good leverages an advanced approach to de-identified data analytics to aid all levels of government and public agencies in making more strategic and informed decisions based on real-world information.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are extremely proud of the contribution TELUS has made to Canadians\u2019 understanding of COVID-19 and our ability to measure many elements of the response to the pandemic,\u201d said Pam Snively, Chief Data & Trust Officer at TELUS. \u201cWe believe that there is a very clear and strategic benefit to our society that can be achieved by using de-identified data to aid researchers in their efforts to stem the spread of COVID-19, and we are grateful for the IAPP\u2019s recognition. This award is proudly shared by the many contributors to the Data for Good program.\u201d<\/p>\n

Data for Good makes it possible for health authorities and qualified academic researchers to use strongly de-identified data from TELUS Insights to measure progress and assess additional opportunities to help stop the spread of COVID-19 and \u201cflatten the curve\u201d without compromising the personal privacy of Canadians.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact that we had been working for years on how to use data to solve problems without compromising the privacy of our customers meant that we could hit the ground running when COVID-19 first emerged,\u201d said Michael Cihra, Vice President for Internet of Things at TELUS. \u201cAdapting the TELUS Insights service to aid in predicting and measuring the impact of the virus was able to happen so quickly because we had already partnered with our Data and Trust team to address the fundamental questions about how to use data responsibly, and I think the value of that collaboration is reflected in the IAPP\u2019s recognition of Data for Good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Using industry-leading privacy standards, TELUS Insights de-identifies customer information, combines it into large aggregated data sets to further ensure privacy, and then extrapolates this data to reveal trends and patterns about how devices move around the TELUS network. The extrapolation methodology takes a representative sample of the data and then models it to represent the total population.<\/p>\n

\u201cTELUS has invested in privacy, and our commitment to putting customers and their privacy first allowed us to have confidence in our platforms at a time when innovative solutions mattered most to our customers and to Canadians,\u201d said Snively. \u201cOur established strategy of approaching data use responsibly, while remaining rooted to our TELUS Trust Model<\/u><\/a>, enabled the TELUS team to pivot and rapidly launch Data for Good to support the COVID-19 response. In the current moment, as we battle the second and third phases of the pandemic, this work has clearly taken on a new importance.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to being the only Canadian telecommunications company to receive the HPE-IAPP Privacy Innovation Award, TELUS is the only telecommunications company in Canada to achieve Privacy by Design Certification<\/u><\/a> through the Professional Evaluation and Certification Board (PECB) for its Insights platform.<\/p>\n
