Seeing how far DTPR has gone since its birth as a hopeful idea to improve privacy & transparency makes me very proud. 😊
We're proud to take the first step towards including #DTPR in all our #ambientdata web visualisations for context-aware physical spaces: it's now part of our web style guide! Thanks @HelpfulPlaces for this initiative which we trust (#punintended) will become standard practice!

I still remember my first conversations with Jeffrey from @reelyActive - it's truly exciting and inspiring to see #DTPR gaining traction not just with place managers but also being adopted by tech companies so that anyone can learn how digital systems work in physical spaces
