Privacy Is More Important Than Ever In The New Age Of AI – Tech CEO Alain Ghiai Explains

Sekur Private Data Ltd

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga AI art has been taking the internet by storm lately. Apps like Lensa AI allow users to take a selfie and have it transformed into avatars, whether it be a goddess, superhero, or Renaissance-era portrait. CEO Alain Ghiai of Sekur Private Data Ltd. (OTCQX: SWISF) (CSE: SKUR) (FRA: GDT0) recently spoke to New to The Street to share his concerns about the data privacy around these seemingly harmless apps. Ghiai warns viewers about the danger of AI apps because when users engage in these platforms, the platforms gain access to facial recognition. He shares, “these apps, like Lensa AI and others like it, entice people to give away your personal details and your facial unique features, and it's a trap. Essentially you are being fooled to give your facial recognition features.” Ghiai explains that Big Tech platforms are known for cybersecurity breaches but more concerningly, they sell and rent your data, and the companies and people they sell that data to, are not protecting users’ data from hackers. He estimates that the data lending business is worth around $185 billion yearly. While there have been some updates to privacy laws that Big Tech companies and apps have to adhere to, the laws aren’t too strict and Terms & Conditions do not guarantee safety. Recently California and the European Union enacted new privacy changes on data which has led to an increase in privacy policy updates, but this does not prevent Big Tech platforms from mining and selling personal data. This is what makes Sekur such an appealing company to individuals who are concerned about their privacy. Sekur is a US-listed cybersecurity and internet privacy company with roots in Switzerland that provides private and secure communications and data management. It uses military-grade encryption security and combines it with its proprietary encryption and Swiss data privacy laws. The Swiss are known for their tough privacy laws and willingness to penalize tech providers who violate those laws. Sekur is best known for its corporate products like SekurMail and SekurMessenger which offer users complete privacy. Capitalizing on the strict Swiss privacy laws, Sekur has built a brand that prides itself on state-of-the-art technology allowing for secure communication. The company recently announced its advancement into a new market with its new Swiss hosted and highly encrypted VPN product, SekurVPN. Ghiai explains that privacy is in the company’s DNA. Every product is designed with privacy as a foundation. For Ghiai, allowing people to divest from Big Tech platforms and have access to products like SekurMail or SekurMessenger gives people peace of mind and protects them from exploitation. He compares Big Tech companies to “advertising agencies,” and Sekur has a strict policy of never selling, lending, or renting data. In a way, Sekur is democratizing privacy.

i2Coalition Launches Ethical Web Data Collection Initiative to Promote Industry Best Practices

Ethical Web Data Collection Initiative

Web data aggregators (“web scraping”) gather available data from around the Internet; enabling consumer confidence, commercial innovation, and community safety. To drive further awareness of and public trust in this crucial digital ability, the Internet Infrastructure Coalition (i2Coalition) has announced the launch of the Ethical Web Data Collection Initiative (EWDCI). This international, industry-led, and member-driven consortium of web data aggregation business leaders is focused on encouraging dialogue and improving digital peace of mind for consumers and companies. By establishing the EWDCI, the i2Coalition seeks to foster cooperation within the data aggregation industry and build a framework to establish an open, participatory process around the development of legal and ethical web scraping provider principles that will lead to greater accountability. The EWDCI is actively seeking more members of the data scraping field dedicated to establishing best practices to join and help shape the initiative’s early efforts. “The public deserves digital peace of mind, and ‘scraping’ doesn’t have to be a dirty word when it is done responsibly, but responsibility needs defining,” said Christian Dawson, the i2Coalition’s Executive Director. “As with any industry in these early stages, it has a unique opportunity to have a hand in how it is developed and perceived.” The web data aggregation industry is young and growing, and the founding members of the EWDCI are committed to serve as the voice of this emerging industry. This means collaboratively building public trust in the practice of data aggregation, promoting ethical guidelines, and helping businesses make informed data aggregation choices. Founding EWDCI members include five companies: Coresignal, Oxylabs, Smartproxy, Rayobyte, and Zyte. Web scraping enables business innovation and competition, provides consumer benefits—including serving accurate information and comprehensive pricing—and facilitates thorough data analysis for academic and public safety purposes. Some noteworthy use cases include: E-commerce price intelligence, including up-to-the-minute comparative information on same-item pricing across the internet Jobs and real estate listing aggregation Social listening and brand monitoring Alternative data for investment decision-making Businesses performing a thorough review of consumer trends and competitor companies worldwide to best position themselves for success Companies scanning the Internet data for illicit uses of their intellectual property Businesses confirming validity of marketing spend via ad verification Data aggregation companies supplying pro-bono scraped data to academic researchers, providing them vast data stores for essential research To properly provide these benefits to consumers, companies, and the public at large, data aggregators need to follow ethical practices. Such dedication will serve to further understanding of the data aggregation practice and process, and further the adoption of this technology. Key to this is a safe and community-minded application of aggregation, and therefore a positive reputation for the practice and its practitioners. The i2Coalition is the leading voice for businesses that build the internet, and has spearheaded the creation of similar efforts to create standardized industry benchmarks—such as the VPN Trust Initiative, which determined and promoted best practices for that vital industry. “The EWDCI aims to reach companies with this message of ethical data aggregation, as well as to educate consumers at large and legislators worldwide in the interest of informed, empowered action,” said Dawson. “This will promote industry-led stewardship of important—and already widely adopted—technology in the interest of solving any present challenges and setting the industry up for forthcoming success.” To learn more about the EWDCI, please visit www.ethicalwebdata.com. To become a member, please email Hilary Osborne. To learn more about the i2Coalition, please visit www.i2Coalition.com. About the Ethical Web Data Collection Initiative The Ethical Web Data Collection Initiative (EWDCI) seeks to foster cooperation in the web data collection and aggregation industry and leverage collective first-hand knowledge and insights to advocate for beneficial technical standards and business best practices regarding the aggregation of data. The EWDCI is dedicated to serving as the voice of the industry, collaboratively strengthening public trust in the practice of Data Aggregation, promoting ethical guidelines, and helping businesses make informed data aggregation choices. About the i2Coalition The Internet Infrastructure Coalition (i2Coalition) is the leading voice for web hosting companies, data centers, domain registrars and registries, cloud infrastructure providers, managed services providers, and related tech. The i2Coalition works with Internet infrastructure providers to advocate for sensible policies, design and reinforce best practices, help create industry standards, and build awareness of how the Internet works. The i2Coalition also spearheaded the creation of the VPN Trust Initiative, which determined and promoted best practices for that vital industry.

CleverTap’s Fintech Benchmark Report: Only 1 in 5 users that install fintech apps sign up within week one

CleverTap

CleverTap, the modern integrated retention cloud, released its Industry Benchmark Report for Fintech Apps 2022. As fintech apps continue to grow more popular, the number of players vying for market share has increased. This has subsequently reduced customer retention and “stickiness” for any one brand. Therefore, today more than ever, it is crucial that fintech companies find ways to drive customer “stickiness” by engaging users in effective ways that eventually drive transactions and fuel growth. The report reflects data collected from Asia-Pacific, Europe, India, Latin America, Middle-East, and North America. The report gives marketers a truly holistic view of key metrics within the fintech app landscape.It also spans a wide variety of fintech apps, including, but not limited to, mobile payment apps, cryptocurrency, and block chain services, along with banking and insurance among others. These insights will not only serve as a helpful starting point for developing successful engagement strategies, but also assist in understanding how an app fares in comparison to global averages. Some of the key metrics in the report include: Install to sign-up rate: Only 1 in 5 users that install fintech apps (21%) end up signing up within the first week. Average time to sign-up: 70% of the users that sign-up, do so within 75 seconds of launching the app for the first time. Sign-up to conversion rate: 95% of newly signed-up users make at least one financial transaction in the first month. Average time to convert: 76% of newly signed-up users move from onboarding to deeper-in-the-funnel engagement within an average of 7 days. Session frequency: On average, fintech app users launch their app around 11 times a month. Average repeat transaction rate for new users: 15% of newly signed-up users complete more than one transaction in the first week. Average click-through rate for push notifications: On average, 9% of Android users and 6% of iOS users will click on and interact with push notifications. Average click-through rate for in-app notifications: The click-through rate for in-app notifications is 24%, that’s about 3 times more than that of push notifications. Average email open rate: 34% users open emails sent by fintech companies Average Stickiness Quotient: Fintech apps enjoy a stickiness quotient of 22%, that indicates nearly one-quarter of MAUs consistently return to their fintech apps “The fintech industry has seen exponential growth in the last few years. Given the relentless competition within the space, fintech platforms need to step up their Omnichannel engagement efforts to better retain customers,” said Jacob Joseph, VP-Data Science, CleverTap. “The benchmark metrics laid out in our report provide a great starting point for growth marketers looking to develop effective marketing strategies. They will be able to compare numbers against global averages and pinpoint which aspects they are excelling at and which areas could use some attention or innovation.” 95% of new fintech users complete a monetary transaction in the first month. This shows that while users see value in fintech apps, it’s important to adopt customized user engagement strategies to boost retention on the platform. Today there is a real need for fintech brands to bake-in effective marketing strategies within their apps. Users will remain responsive as long as the experience is engaging and seamless. The benchmark report helps fintech apps understand how to build successful mobile communication campaigns, and also allows growth marketers to discover areas that require greater focus.

Expert Tips for Investing in 2023

YourUpdateTV

The world of money and investing reached an important milestone recently: the 30th anniversary of the very first exchange traded fund launched in the U.S. The SPDR® S&P 500® ETF – simply referred to as “SPY”- made its debut in January of 1993, revolutionizing the way investors big and small invest. 30 years later SPY has become the largest exchange traded fund in the world, with more than $355 billion in assets. But what is an ETF? How do they work? And how do we know which one is right for us? Recently, Allison Bonds, Head of Private & Independent Wealth Management at State Street Global Advisors participated in a nationwide satellite media tour to discuss the 30th anniversary of SPY and the impact ETFs have had on investors. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/0ovMXGxmqKc While ETFs are not new, even the most novice of investors can now transform their investment portfolios and potentially reduce the cost of investing. According to a recent study from State Street Global Advisors, over half of U.S. investors with ETFs in their portfolio believe they have made them a better investor, and nearly 60% say ETFs have improved the overall performance of their portfolio. Today, ETFs have become core building blocks for investors making decisions about where to put their money to work in the market. The growth of ETFs to include different types of funds in a variety of asset classes has further added to their appeal with investors who value having choices. Overall, the perceived benefits ETFs have brought to investors globally is overwhelmingly positive- whether or not they even own ETFs. More than half agree ETFs are an investor-friendly investment product (58%) and are better diversified than other investment products (54%). Toward the end of 2022 SPY was trading three times more than Apple — the largest security in the world by market cap. That volume, combined with the size of SPY’s assets,, liquidity, and resilience, has been vital to investors as they construct asset allocation portfolios and navigate extreme market events.

News Release

Web3 and the Metaverse embrace trust and privacy with Liquid Avatar's ‘Proof of Humanity’ technology

Market One

Jim Gordon Hi, I am Jim Gordon and you're watching Market One Minute. Joining us is David Lucatch, CEO, President and Chair of Liquid Avatar Technologies. David, welcome. David Lucatch Thank you for having me here today as well. Jim Gordon Great to have you, sir. Okay. What is Proof of Humanity and why is it important to the evolution of the internet? David Lucatch Well, Proof of Humanity is the ability to prove that I'm a real person. So what does that really mean at the end of the day? Well, we know that online, we're usually anonymous and we have no data. We use a username and a password to get in and we could have 50 accounts, we could be good we could be bad, we could be fake, there's so many opportunities when we think about no identity. Then at the other end of the spectrum there is what we call KYC, Know Your Client or Customer, which is a bank rate verification which proves I am exactly who I am, and that usually means that I have to give up my driver's license or passport. And in many cases, that's too much information to either give out or to put in someone's hands. Proof of Humanity is in the middle. It allows me to verify that I'm a real person using biometrics verifying my device and self-attesting, giving my age. That creates a verifiable credential. It creates a piece of encrypted data that you can use at your discretion to pass to websites and organizations when you want to prove that you're a real person. The benefit of it is that you can use that Proof of Humanity instead of a username or password when signing onto a website or any type of online platform. This creates value for the user and for the system because they know only real people are inside their platform. Jim Gordon And can you explain to us how digital footprints support online economic growth? David Lucatch Well, when you think about digital footprints or Proof of Humanity and economic growth, many sites today are plagued by fake accounts, duplicate accounts, and even bad actors. People who presume to be someone else and do potentially nefarious things. Proof of Humanity puts everybody on the same level playing field. It creates the ability for me as a user to share information when I choose to do so and still remain anonymous. That allows websites and other organizations and other platforms to really create new and engaging services based on having real people on their platform, which has great economic value because I'm not servicing or managing bad accounts or fake accounts and I'm able to grow my business with real users and real data. Jim Gordon Okay David, you've explained to us how digital footprints support online economic growth. How is Liquid Avatar Technologies helping to make this happen? David Lucatch Well, at Liquid Avatar, we really focus it on three things. We focus on digital footprints, avatars, and digital goods and the Metaverse. And if we really look at the beginning digital footprints, digital footprints help us assure, create high levels of assurance that all the users in our platforms are real people. We can also take that those credentials are transportable, so users from our platform can take them to other platforms that are enabled with Proof of Humanity and the Liquid Avatar mobile app that is now available in over a hundred countries, and regions around the world. This allows us to support the economic growth of the emerging Web 3.0 environment as we move from Web 2.0. Jim Gordon And what will be the key revenue drivers for the company? David Lucatch So when we look at the key revenue drivers behind digital footprint, we look at the credential itself that a company may want to have. So if you work for an organization and you're online they may want you to have a credential that proves that you're a real person and may also prove who you are. And so creating those credentials initially has a start-up cost which creates economic value for Liquid Avatar. Plus, the use of those credentials will have small micro charges that are transactional. And there's lots of different types of credentials, not only proof of humanity and full digital identity, but we look at marketing credentials and access credentials and validation credentials for a whole load of different opportunities in the emerging Web 3.0 ecosphere. Jim Gordon And lastly, what do you believe is the main catalyst for this next evolution? David Lucatch Well, I think as we move from Web 2.0 to Web 3.0, and I know that a lot of people are thinking, well, what's Web 2.0? And what's Web 3.0? Web 1.0 was the informational age, Web 2.0, it was the social media age. And as we go to Web 3.0, which includes immersive technologies like the Metaverse virtualization, augmented reality, extended reality, all the new types of things that will really create immersive environments. I think it behooves ourselves to ensure that we have only real people in our platforms. But because there's been no type of identity verification, that's allowed bad accounts, fake accounts, duplicate accounts, to permeate the ecosphere, and as such really creates a lesser value for both individuals and online sites. I think by driving forward with Proof of Humanity and digital credentials and the digital footprint, we're going to see great economic growth. Jim Gordon David, thank you for joining us.
