IIR is looking for original, innovative and promising Privacy Innovation Projects (a product, process, procedure or service). It is a prerequisite that you are working on your innovation. You are past the idea stage and can already show something of the project in progress. With your project, you provide inspiration to other companies so that Privacy is not only seen as an obstacle, but above all as an opportunity!

The first selection consists of a screening on which the following will be dealt with:

(a) Having a privacy officer (FG, PO) in the organisation

(b) Application of a privacy policy

(c) Application of risk analysis(s)

(d) Privacy awareness in the organisation

(e) An insightful privacy policy and communication thereof

Then the contestants who are nominated are screened for things like:

f) Innovative ability: the product, process, procedure or service offers a privacy novelty and has not yet been technically and/or commercially proven in the market;

g) Social impact: the innovation contributes to privacy and benefits the protection of personal data and the individual;

h) Focus: the product, process, procedure or service adds significant value to the market/consumer;

i) Self-reliance: the product, process, procedure or service is economically viable within a realistic timeframe (approx. 3 years). There is a business model.

There is also the possibility that the jury will make an announced company visit to the nominee.
