The International Federation of Freight Forwarders Associations (FIATA) and the Global Shippers Forum (GSF) have jointly issued a charter calling for stronger data protection in digital supply chains. The charter sets out minimum standards for data security and confidentiality that providers and operators of digital booking and trading platforms should adopt.
The charter was developed in response to the growing use of digital technologies in international trade. The use of these technologies has the potential to improve efficiency and reduce costs, but it also raises new data protection challenges. The charter aims to address these challenges by providing a framework for ensuring the security and confidentiality of data in digital supply chains.
The charter includes provisions on data ownership, data security, data access, and data use. It also includes a dispute resolution mechanism. The charter is intended to be used by all stakeholders in the international trade and logistics sector, including freight forwarders, shippers, carriers, and government agencies.
FIATA and GSF believe that the charter will help to create a more secure and trustworthy environment for digital trade. They urge all stakeholders to adopt the charter and to work together to implement its provisions.
