Most of us would struggle to list all of the places our personal information is stored online. On average we manage over 150 accounts and passwords each, with everything from financial information to sensitive health records existing in countless databases all over the world. Data breaches have become increasingly common and costly, and as a result identity fraud is on the rise.
This needs to change.
Avast envisions a future where we are in control of our data and can navigate our digital world with confidence. A future where proving who we are is as simple as it is in the physical world; where we can verify and trust who’s on the other end of a phone call or digital interaction; and where we know that our data will always be safe, private, and secure.
Today’s online world requires us to share our personal information with countless websites, apps, and digital services. The more we engage, the more possibilities emerge for us to access and explore new online experiences. But to do so, we’re often sharing our personal information with little control over how or where it’s used. We’re lacking a digital trust framework for our interactions.
Avast believes everyone has the right to use the internet with confidence that their data is safe, private, and under their control. Built using Privacy by Design principles, our digital trust services protect your personal information in a way that nobody, not even us, can ever see or use without your consent. By providing the tools to help people realize their digital freedom, we’re empowering them to make their own decisions about what they share online and who they share it with.
These principles guide our decisions as we build and design services that put you at their core. It’s your right to have total control over your digital identity. Our solutions are anchored in Privacy By Design principles to ensure that you, and only you, can access your identity data.
