SHIPPERS and forwarders are calling for improved standards of data protection and confidentiality in digital trading and booking systems, said a global Shippers Forum press release.
FIATA, the International Federation of Freight Forwarders Associations, and the Global Shippers Forum, have issued an agreed Charter for Protection and Governance of Data in International Trade.
Such a charter sets out the minimum arrangements for data security and confidentiality that providers and operators of digital booking and trading platforms should adopt and incorporate in their End-User Agreements (EUAs).
Recommendations in the charter seek to enable a safe and trustworthy environment for conducting business based on a level playing field.
The charter has been approved by members of both organizations and is believed to be the first declaration of rights for platform users in the trade and logistics sector.
