The 0PN Transparency Signal is a public badge backed by a real, inspectable directory entry. It is a stand for standardized transparency and Digital Consent, not a compliance claim.
Today, tracking, profiling, age checks, and AI processing start before anyone tells you who is accountable or what they are doing with your data. Notice comes last, if it comes at all. AI systems are banking human knowledge with no consent and no record.
Notice before identification. Standardized transparency that names the controller, the purpose, and the legal basis before any check begins, and Digital Consent that makes it accountable. The goal is a public, machine-readable profile anyone can inspect, not another private privacy policy.
The 0PN Transparency Signal is a support and awareness signal. It says you stand for standardized transparency and Digital Consent. It is not a certification and it does not claim compliance.
The Transparency Signal is one breath: say who you are and where you are, and stand for transparency. Creating your entry adds you to the public 0PN Directory as a self asserted supporter.
Who: Global Privacy Rights, operating the 0PN Directory (a public controller transparency broadcasting service). Contact: privacy@0pn.org.
Why: to capture your Transparency Signal entry and prepare its public directory listing.
Where your data lives: the United Kingdom (TCIEG UK) for UK and EU, otherwise Canada (Global Privacy Rights). Self asserted support signal, not a compliance certification.
The Transparency Signal stands for transparency. The Registered Controller Record publishes an inspectable Controller Identification Record (CIR): website, accountable contact, purpose, and legal basis. In plain terms, it lets anyone verify who is accountable before any identification is demanded. It is the next step when you are ready.
Registered Controller Records are issued by request while the directory issuer connection is completed. Email privacy@0pn.org and we will guide you through it: privacy@0pn.org.
Transparency Signal (market transparency): the public signal, backed by your directory entry. Where you are now.
Registered Controller Record (First Factor Notice): the first assurance step. Full controller identification and standardized notice, before identification.
Numbered assurance levels are used in the 0PN Directory, standards contributions, and regulator material. This page uses named tiers so the ladder reads plainly.
