Most Irish Organisations Would Fail ePrivacy Compliance Standards if Tested. #GDPR #ePrivacy

Political parties are not the only bodies overstepping GDPR boundaries – organisations the length and breadth of the country would fail to meet the required ePrivacy standards if put to the test. Such is the contention of experts at Baycloud, data protection specialists, who say reports on the misuse of electoral data is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of non-compliance across all industries. The experts say they believe a significant percentage of non-compliance cases are a result of a genuine lack of knowledge around GDPR and ePrivacy and a dearth of know-how as to how to put the correct structures in place to ensure a business complies with what is required of them by the Data Protection Commissioner and European regulators.

 

Baycloud’s Founder Mike O’Neill spoke of the importance of ensuring businesses are supported in data protection, which will ultimately ensure better protections for public privacy,

“It makes sense for companies to use their public facing websites to build trust, and this means not only being transparent about personal data, but also ensuring their website visitors have full control and a clear choice.  Our mission is to make this as easy and automated as possible for companies to become fully compliant with privacy laws”.

 

Baycloud say the issues raised by the Data Protection Commissioner Helen Dixon recently in relation to the capture of data by political parties through social media is only one signal of the more widespread non-compliant practices of businesses and organisations when it comes to the collection of personal data.

 

Gail Chalmin of Chalmin Data Protection and consultant to Baycloud said,

“As the DPC publishes its draft Regulator Strategy and as Schrems enforcement moves across the EU, we can expect a robust follow through on the assertions they made and a clamp down on any organisation that does not meet the compliance standards that have been put in place.”

Baycloud warn that Irish organisations are leaving themselves hugely exposed to fines and penalties from Data Protection regulators both here and at a European level.

Mike O’Neill explained,

“It is incumbent on those who interact with clients, customers and/or the general public to arm themselves with the power to understand their data networks and therefore enable their customers to freely give informed and specific consent”.

Baycloud is challenging the public to use its free tool to check the websites they access most often and take note at the levels of non-compliance. The check will also give an insight into the use of tracking analytics that can identify individual users, as well as the countries in which sites process their personal information. 

 Liam Coyle, head of iSeek.ie and consultant to Baycloud said, “I think people would be shocked to learn how many organisations do not meet the standards required of them. Anecdotal evidence has suggested to us that the complexity of GDPR requirements and a misunderstanding of obligations around cookies and ePrivacy etc., is hampering businesses from maintaining the necessary standards – rather than an outright disregard of regulation. But the reality is that, in most cases, legislation surrounding cookies is much less complex than it seems, which is why Baycloud’s services are designed so that organisations can automate their compliance solutions across multiple domains, enabling companies to maintain their focus and attention on their core business activities – without having to worry about GDPR.”

 The Baycloud cookie consent management platform was the first to market in 2010 and since then has helped organisations ranging in scale from SMEs to blue chip global consumer goods companies to ensure they are GDPR compliant.

 Baycloud have published a top ten steps/checklist that, they advise, all businesses with an online presence to consider:

  1. Use the new online resource to first help you determine the data protection/ePrivacy status of your website.
  2. Prepare evidence of and know your own data processing, including your website cookies, and the requests transmitted to or from third parties.
  3. Remember that consent from the end users must be obtained before placing or using non- exempted cookies on the end users’ end terminal.
  4. Ensure that this consent meets the requirements of the GDPR.
  5. Note that pre-checked boxes do not satisfy consent requirements under directive 95, e-Privacy, and GDPR.
  6. Be sure to inform users of the duration of the cookie, what it is being used for and whether third parties will have access to the data.
  7. It is also worth noting that the applicability of Article 5(3) of the e-Privacy directive is wider than just cookies. In fact, it applies to ‘storing of information or the gaining of access to information already stored, in the terminal equipment of an end user’ if this is not ‘strictly necessary’ in order for the ‘provider of an information society Service’ explicitly requested by the end user.
  8. Engage with the experts to simplify your website compliance programme.
  9. Do not forget about Transparency Notices for compliance with Art12.13 and 14 of the GDPR with a view to enforcing data protection compliance across your website.
  10. Have a carefully drafted Privacy Notice which will build trust for your business partners and customers alike.

Five of the most common mistakes on business websites when it comes to cookies:

  • Deploying a generic cookie notice with only an “accept all” button for cookies, and no ability to continue to use the site when the user has not agreed.
  • Soliciting advice from website designers who are not always fully versed in data protection legislation when it comes to controlling the use of cookies on their domains.
  • Applying a cookie policy page to their website but failing to update it when changes occur.
  • Connecting 3rd party services to their websites, such as Facebook or Instagram feeds, whilst not taking into account their impact on data protection and cookies.
  • Prioritising systems like Google Analytics ahead of their visitors’ data protection rights and their website’s compliance with data protection legislation.

Baycloud has just opened an office in Cork, Ireland following on from the opening of our branch office in Marseille, France, last year. 2021 will also see us release a unified product, combining our state-of-the-art website privacy auditing and governance tools, our first to market cookie consent platform, our privacy preserving website analytics which serves as an alternative to conventional analytics platforms where users have declined their consent to the invasive use of cookies, as well as bot detection systems, together with our new California Consumer Privacy Act compliance service and support for the Global Privacy Control (GPC) Signal. Everyone, from individual website owners and online privacy consultants to the web controllers of vast multinationals can bring their sites up to date with global legislation and maintain a clear picture of their compliance status from our comprehensive management dashboard.

Why Software Development Is Important For Expanding Your Business

It only makes sense that you’re always on the prowl for ways to keep your business relevant in a competitive market. New companies and even the old are busy getting their businesses online in this day and age. The benefits of transitioning to the digital space with software developed for your company far outweigh the costs that you’ll incur. The software that you develop for your business will help you immensely with productivity, customer experience, and process optimization.

With the increasing penetration of the internet deep into new and uncharted territories, the avenues for growth are endless. You can reach out to more potential customers since the majority of people are using mobile phones and web browsers to access the internet. In this opportune time, it’s up to you to utilize the opportunities presented. We’ll be taking a look at why software development can help your business grow.

1. Increased Scalability

Perhaps the greatest benefit of having software developed for your business is the scalability offered. You can expand and shrink your business according to your needs without having to overspend or compromise on the features. You can decide to add new features to your business anytime you feel like it’s growing fast and needs more bells and whistles to better serve your customers, or you can simply cut back on the features that are not needed and don’t serve any real purpose.

2. More Reach

You are extremely limited in your outreach if you don’t utilise the proper software to grow your business. When you have an online presence that’s optimised, you can grow your client base much more easily. Software that’s specifically developed for your business can help you out immensely, the specialists at https://apro-software.com/ say that web applications and mobile applications are some of the most widely used services. Integrating and utilising specialised additional tools like AI can help you increase your reach even more.

3. Customer Experience

In the world of business, the customer is the king and custom-developed software can help you serve them better. The user experience is something that most modern businesses focus on since it’s highly efficient at increasing your brand’s sales and recognition. If you can provide your customer with increased convenience and a pleasant user experience then you’ll be able to capture their loyalty which will keep them coming back for the same delightful experience. Not only will the newly developed software help your customer interact with your business better, but it’ll also help you to engage in a much more effective manner with your customer.

4. Better Integration

With the modular nature of modern software development it’s rather easy for you to integrate your services with additional features. You can integrate multiple offerings together which include payment gateways, analytics tools, artificial intelligence, and tracking tools. All of these tools might not be very useful individually but when you integrate these with the basic offerings, you can easily create a mighty impressive software that will offer an unmatched experience to your customers.

5. Cost-Effective

The biggest benefit of the rapid technological advancements seen in the IT industry is the reduced costs of every possible hardware or software service. The software that you get developed for your own business will be far more effective than any other generic ‘one size fits all’ software. The effectiveness will be clearly evident when you’ll see an increased turnover due to the implementation of the custom software. 

The investment will be rather small compared to other means that you can utilize for the advancement of your business like offline marketing or hiring full-time employees to do the jobs that software can easily automate. Seeing the steady decline in the prices of the software development services provided by many reputed developers, it’s safe to say that you’ll be making more money from the software than you’ll be investing in it.

The above-mentioned benefits of getting custom-developed software should be enough to make you stop and consider getting one for your own business. You should definitely seek out a software developer to help you create a customizable solution that will have immense benefits for your business. In this era of rapid advancements, if you don’t utilize the technological edge then your competitor will, and that means loss of your customers to the competition. 

It’s critical for you to get custom software developed for your business if you want to stay relevant and compete with the other contenders. If you don’t invest in software soon then it might be too late to do so later since your competitors will have already left you behind.

Poly announces the launch of the Voyager Focus 2. We take a first look. #Poly #VoyagerFocus2

Poly recently announced the Voyager Focus 2, the latest addition in Poly’s best-selling line of stereo Bluetooth headsets. The Voyager Focus 2 is a smart, wireless headset with amazing audio that’s intuitive and easy to use, combining Poly’s next generation Acoustic Fence technology with Advanced Digital Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) to help you concentrate on what matters most.

“In this work-from-anywhere era where background noise comes at you from all sides, we saw an opportunity to build the next closest thing to a virtual sound wall by creating a literal ‘focus zone’ with the new Voyager Focus 2 headset,” said John Lamarque, vice president and general manager of the voice collaboration & professional headset business unit at Poly. “The Voyager Focus 2 is packed with three levels of hybrid ANC so all you hear is your call, while on the far end, all they hear is your voice because of our high-performance microphones and Poly’s Acoustic Fence technology. This headset is the best of the best, with the all-day comfort you need to stay focused.”

Crazy good sound

Callers are guaranteed to hear you clearly – not your surroundings – when you’re using the Voyager Focus 2 headset. Poly’s pro-grade noise-cancelling microphones with Acoustic Fence technology provides Poly’s best noise reduction yet, delivering crystal clear phone calls. Poly’s Advanced Digital Hybrid ANC comes with three settings: high, mid, and off so you can set the right level for your surroundings. A convenient carrying case is also included, so you always have a headset to use wherever you go.

Pro-grade performance

While the Voyager Focus 2 is smart, you’ll never have to worry about not being heard. The Dynamic Mute Alert feature lets you know if you’re speaking while on mute, and an online ear cup indicator flashes when you’re on a call for a visual cue to others that you’re busy. Additional smart sensors will help you answer calls and play or pause music, and the smart microphone boom will automatically switch left and right audio no matter which side the headset is worn. The headset intuitively mutes the headset when the boom is in the up-right position to make sure you are always in control of your call.

The VoyagerFocus 2 UC headset connects to mobile phones and PC/Mac via Poly’s new BT700 USB adapter that ensures a more stable audio connection and extended range in an ultra-compact form factor for when you need to step away from your device while staying connected. It also has a convenient desktop charging stand option to ensure one is always charged, plus serves for easy desktop storing. For those who need to connect to multiple communication devices throughout the workday, the Voyager Focus 2 Office headset connects with desk phones, mobile phones, and PC/Mac. The Office version continues to charge in the base when the headset is not in use, so you are always ready to take a call. It can also be used as a wired headset when plugged into the computer’s USB port.

Microsoft Teams Open Office certification 

The Voyager Focus 2 headset has earned the Microsoft Teams Open Office premium microphone specification with its noise-cancelling microphone that’s enhanced with Poly’s Acoustic Fence technology, ensuring nearby conversations are always kept private. It is Microsoft Teams-certified and comes with a dedicated Teams button for instant access to the app. It’s also compatible with Zoom right out of the box to seamlessly support all your collaboration and communications needs.

“As employees look for more flexibility in the way they work with a greater need to focus and work from anywhere, the Voyager Focus 2 aims to please,” said Mohamed Alaa Saayed, ICT industry director & fellow – connected work, Frost & Sullivan. “Poly’s Acoustic Fence technology and Advanced Digital Hybrid ANC technologies are premium features that improve not only the user’s experience, but also the experience on the far-end – providing an all-around amazing pro-grade, audio experience.”

Poly+ and Poly Lens supported 

For added convenience, the Voyager Focus 2 supports Poly Lens, a personal device support service, making it easier for IT teams to troubleshoot and manage devices while working remotely. The Voyager Focus 2 comes with a two-year limited warranty and access to Poly’s standard support. For additional peace of mind Poly+ is available, a paid subscription service that offers 24/7 technology support for personal devices around the world and a third-year warranty.

Dublin City Council launches cycling app for safer routes. Dublin Cycling Buddy. #Apps #Cycling

Cycling in Dublin is best described as risky due to no room on the road and again when it comes to sharing roads and not forgetting being lit up having the right gear on and the clash with motorists and cyclists breaking red lights and much more but this is not about who is right or wrong this is a new app which will be welcome amongst the cycling community. I cycle myself and will be giving this a go and also we have some cycling tech accessories in for review so stay tuned for that.

Dublin Cycling Campaign, Dublin City Council, and Smart Dublin, have been working together to produce the ‘Go-To’ cycle routing and gamification app curated just for Dublin. Through the participation of our cycling community, this app will continue to crowd-source critical information to provide more ‘localised’ and accurate cycle routing data. This will help Dublin City Council to create a safer and more bike-friendly environment for all.

Dublin Cycling Buddy helps make your cycle rides around Dublin safer and more enjoyable!  Built using a new community-powered cycling navigation engine, the app will find safe, bike-friendly routes for your commuting and recreational rides. It utilises large data sets, including GPS trajectories and crowdsourced issue reports, with a data engine that analyses the collected data to produce these optimised routes. The solution will give cyclists peace of mind when planning their ride, knowing full well that they’re getting the best selection of cycle routes available.

The collection of data from cycling routes will help the city council’s planning department determine which ‘non official’ routes that cyclists are organically taking, in order to improve cycling infrastructure in these key locations.

The app is also expected to foster a deeper digital community for Dublin cyclists through the real time feedback (e.g. potholes, traffic jams, near misses etc.), as well as taking part in the friendly competitions across the city and county.

As quoted by DCC’s Chief Executive Owen Keegan:

“The app offers Dublin’s cyclists a smarter way to engage with the Council, build a community of cyclists, as well as share trip information and advice on safer routes. This will help inform our investment priorities and also help us measure the impact of current investments across the city.”

The new McLaren 720S includes 3D printed parts. #3DPrinting #McClaren720S

Along with aerospace, robotics and education, the automotive industry remains one of the key sectors adopting and embracing 3D printing.  Not only does the industry use the technology for components and tooling equipment, but also for the customisation of parts, for example, wall panels, bumpers and car doors. 

3D printing functional parts has become more prevalent in the automotive sphere, especially with the adoption of additive manufacturing technology, Selective Laser Sintering. However, the ultra-lightweight McLaren 720S has made the headlines because of its completely exposed exterior made from carbon fibre, combined with the use of 3D printed parts to improve vehicle performance. 

We look at the people behind the innovation, the differences it makes to high-end vehicle functionality and why the McLaren 720S could mark the start of a new age in the manufacture of high-performance cars. 

McLaren 720S Light-weight advantages 

Specialists in aftermarket carbon fibre and ECU tuning, 1016 Industries works on exclusive and exotic cars across the world and has already used 3D printing technology for prototypes and the production of spare parts. They worked alongside Abushi to produce the main parts for this ultra-lightweight 720S sports car. 

The fully functional parts of the special edition model are up to around 9% lighter than the original factory model, with the combined use of 3D printing and carbon fibre dropping its weight from 1,419 kg. Founder of 1016 Industries, Peter Northrop says that the main aim was to see how 3D printing and carbon fibre processes could work together in auto design. The new model is the result of ‘years of extensive field testing and design validation. He states that it’s no secret that 3D printing makes way for more ‘nimble manufacturing’ but the process has also allowed engineers to apply improvements to the ‘quality and precision of each functional part’.  

How were the 720S parts made? 

Typically, automotive parts manufacture is an extensive process incorporating the use of conjoined pieces for the making of the panels. However, using an extremely high-resolution resin 3D printer used for creating large scale models, the 720S components were made in just 120 hours and with one single piece, which helps to strengthen the structure of the part. 

The research and design process adopted by 1016 also provided ways to adapt the printing to scaled manufacturing development. 1016 used Computational Fluid Dynamics to help improve ergonomics, an especially important feature for performance sports cars. The 3D printed parts on the vehicle include the inner bumper structures, outer door wings and the hood and as linkages within the wing kit. 

The full process, which resulted in thousands of hours of engineering, means that prototypes as well as final designs were able to be produced. The company now plans for tooling to be made via 3D printing for the moulds of the 720S and possibly other performance cars it works on in the future. 

3D printing in the auto industry

As the call increases for greater performance in standard vehicles, as well as performance cars, 3D printing makes way for the production of more ‘performance enhanced’ features, and an improvement in the overall production process with the use of 3D printed tooling equipment. For example, Volkswagon’s Autoeuropa factory which began using 3D printing for tool production a few years ago, now uses it predominantly for inhouse tooling production of jigs and grips to help cut costs from 70% to 95%, as well as reducing lead times.  

3D printing to help improve sports car performance 

When it comes to sports vehicles like the McLaren 720S, other manufacturers, such as Porsche, has also incorporated the technology into their prototype production. More recently, the company created 3D printed aluminium pistons for the engineering of its iconic 911 GT2 RS model, in partnership with mechanical engineering company, Trumpf, MAHLE. The inclusion of the 3D printed pistons supports greater efficiency to boost the Horse Power of the vehicle. Frank Ickinger, Porsche project team leader said that the technology makes it possible to reach 30 PS more power from the 700 PS biturbo engine, and the same time, efficiency is improved. 

A new era in 3D printing for performance vehicles? 

The overall developments in 3D printing across the auto industry have been impressive, however, as the first to use ‘000’ carbon fibre features, together with additive manufactured parts, the engineering of the McLaren 720S potentially marks one of the most exciting developments in 3D printing. 

Along with the prospect of producing vehicle body components in large scale manufacturing processes and plans to do more with 3D printed components for the other high-performance vehicles it works on, the story for 3D printing for performance has not come to a conclusion yet. Coupled with mainstream vehicle manufacturing’s commitment to 3D printing adoption and continued research, it looks like we can certainly expect further developments all round in the automotive sector. 

Tech Review – VIOFO A139 3 channel dashcam, A must have. #dashcams #VIOFIO #Tech

Every vehicle should have a dashcam I keep saying it with every review but many just ignore the fact it could save you some day and help clamp down on fraudulent claims which is still a problem and not only this it will help drive your premium down, given our insurance industry is seen as a cartel there is signs things will change in the summer this year and having a dashcam can and will help int he long run.

This dashcam offers more than the typical one we mostly but as it has three cameras so this means you have eyes everywhere in your vehicle and you can have two of them facing inwards or outwards which is an added bonus and for my testing I had two facing outside and one inside as my car is in for service during m test period I decided to see how well it would work on one of my vans and this will protect you not only from the front and in the cab but also from the rear end so all angles are covered. the app that comes with the unit is also great and easy to use and is most welcome. One thing I do miss is an internal screen on the unit but you have a LIVE VIEW option which cover this in the app which is great as it allows you to see either one camera or all three on your smartphone and works really well and is crystal clear too and overall the app is simple to use which makes life easy for the user, we go through this in our full video review below and how to operate the whole system. There is some buttons on the unit inside which allows you quick access to functions too.

This dashcam also protects your vehicle when you are not inside it and has parking mode again here you can set the sensitivity level to stop false negatives.

Set up is simple enough it does not need to be hardwired but you can buy the cable for it if you like and you channel the wires around your roof lining with the tools provided it took me around 10 minutes to set this up fully which was great and nothing to difficult about it, once installed you adjust accordingly via the app for the view you need and you are good to go, the files auto store and you can check out all the settings on offer and tailor to your needs. Again all shown in the video below. Overall this is a super effective 3 camera system and a must have for any driver and a worthy investment.

A little golf journey is a new golf game stripped back. #Golf #Gaming #Plytonic

If there’s one thing the last year living through a global pandemic and lock down conditions has taught us all it’s that we need to switch off from the world and look after our own state of mind more often than we probably were before.  But what has that got to do with golf and video games? Playtonic Friends has partnered with Okidokico, creators of the chart topping OK Golf, to announce the third title under its new publishing label which sets out to answer that very question.

A Little Golf Journey is a relaxed, playful experience built around a stripped back version of the game of golf where it’s all about the journey, not the driver.  Explore diverse destinations, uncover each course’s secrets and tee off on the most relaxing round you’ve ever experienced.

“With our previous title, OK Golf, we received so much feedback from players about how relaxing they found the experience but we really thought we could take that side of it further and that’s where the core ideas for A Little Golf Journey came from.” commented Charlie Goatly, Co-Founder at Okidokico “We’ve removed all those stressful elements of a traditional round of golf and replaced them with beautiful imagery, a soothing soundtrack and a narrative adventure layer for those who want to seek it out. For us, it was all about creating a game we could truly escape into and get away from the pressures of daily life”

Gavin Price, CEO of Playtonic, added “After a year of nothing but home schooling, video calls and hardly leaving the house, the idea of not a round of golf instantly grabbed the Playtonic Friends team and we knew we wanted to help the guys at Okidokico make their next vision a reality. A Little Golf Journey is the anti Souls-like; there’s no pressure or frustration, just a pure, relaxed experience which is as deep as the player wants it to be.”

A Little Golf Journey will be launching on Steam for PC and Nintendo Switch later this Summer – join in the conversation on the official channels.
