Kakao Attends Global Information Rights Event 'RightsCon'

[Asia Economy Reporter Buaeri] Kakao announced on the 14th that it presented on digital responsibility for user privacy protection at a special session of the global information rights event 'RightsCon.'

According to Kakao, RightsCon, held on the 12th, is an annual event hosted by the digital rights organization Access Now, focusing on technology and human rights. This special session commemorated the 10th anniversary of the first transparency report publication, reflecting on the past decade and discussing future global challenges. Representatives from global companies publishing transparency reports, such as Google and Uber, attended, with Kakao being the only participant from the Asia region.

In the presentation, Kakao explained its principles and philosophy regarding user digital rights, privacy protection, and transparency based on its transparency report.

Since 2012, Kakao has voluntarily published transparency reports twice a year to protect user privacy. These reports disclose how Kakao protects user information while responding to government requests and the lawful procedures it follows.

Along with introducing the transparency report, Kakao also presented content from the recently completed Kakao Corona White Paper series. The Kakao Corona White Paper contains big data from various fields such as content, mobility, and artificial intelligence, documenting the new normal daily life after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Choi Eunpil, a research fellow at Kakao's Policy Team, stated, "The importance of corporate responsibility and fulfilling promises in the digital environment is also increasing," adding, "This presentation reaffirmed Kakao's commitment to doing its best to protect users' rights going forward."
