The World Economic Forum revealed its Presidio Principles on Friday, a blockchain bill of rights, according to the nonprofit focused on fostering diplomacy and international business partnerships. The document includes signatories from the Government of Colombia, Deloitte Consulting LLP, ConsenSys, Electric Coin Company, CoinShares and the United Nations World Food Program, just to name a few.

We supported the creation of the Presidio Principles as well as guidelines and design principles for public institutions because we wanted to ensure that progress can continue rapidly and responsibly, ensuring that basic characteristics like security and data privacy are secured for our citizens, Victor Munoz, Colombias presidential advisor on economic affairs and digital transformation, said in a press statement.

The principles include a users right to manage consent of data stored in third-party systems, port data between interoperable systems and revoke consent for future data collection.
