How the solution demonstrates 'privacy by design':

Contactable's solution is designed with the owner of the personal data in mind, allowing them to be in control of who has access to their data, all the time.

1) We specify why we require information and users have to consent.

2) We only collect what is absolutely required to complete the process

3) Information is retained in compliance with regulations (in country, GDPR)

4) Our data is FIPS-2 level 3 and ISO 27001 compliant. We only use HTTPS, with triple encryption, using only service providers that are also ISO 27001 compliant.

5) We take utmost care of personal information, employing personal with excellent credentials.

6) We have strict policies and procedures and are audited against these.

7) Our processes are accurate and only fulfil the process's requirements.

How the solution can be incorporated into digital identification systems:

With our API, organisations can integrate with our solution and provide seamless integrated solutions.

Our APIs are triple encrypted, being FIPS 140-2 level 3 and ISO 27001 compliant.

Our solutions are white-labelled, and organisations have access to user's personal data (with their permission of course) either on our portal or integrated into their own systems.

How the solution is 'user-friendly':

Partnership Potential

Reason for applying to the Mission Billion Challenge:

We believe we have the ultimate solution to help solve the identity problems we currently face globally, without compromising on privacy or security, but making identities shareable.

The World Bank Group’s vision to realise the potential that exists in digital identities , aligns with our vision, especially in the industries identified.

The power and reach that exists within the World Bank Group, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Omidyar Network and the Australian Government are paths that can speed up both the ID4D and Contactable's visions.

Key barriers to the solution:

Our main challenge is distribution, partnering with programmes / companies that can place our international solution in the hands of billions.
