Richard Purcell ranks among the original chief privacy officers in
the U.S. He created the position at Microsoft in the late ‘90’s,
becoming a leading voice in addressing consumer privacy and data
protection, domestically and internationally.
As Microsoft’s chief privacy officer, Richard designed, developed,
implemented and oversaw one of the world’s largest and most advanced
privacy programs, spanning software development, Web deployment,
infrastructure management, workforce management, and consumer data
handling practices. He developed and monitored a distributed team of
privacy managers throughout the corporation and its global
subsidiaries. Richard was a leading advocate of the Platform for
Privacy Preferences, or P3P, publicly committing Microsoft’s support in
2000 and working closely with the Internet Explorer development team on
incorporating the specification into IE v6.
In 2003, Richard left Microsoft to form Corporate Privacy Group, an
independent privacy consulting firm focused on establishing
sustainable, affordable privacy programs in corporations, agencies and
institutions. Privacy Directions™, a training curriculum for
corporations designed to institutionalize privacy awareness, practices,
and compliance throughout their organizations is a notable early
offering.
Richard is the immediate past chairman of the Board of Directors for
TRUSTe, an independent trust authority for privacy on the Web. He was
appointed to the Department of Homeland Security’s Data Privacy and
Integrity Advisory Committee in 2005. Richard advises Fortune 100
corporations, leads privacy training seminars, and lectures extensively.
He is a former member of the Int'l Association of Privacy
Professionals, or IAPP, and on their Advisory Board for Privacy
Certification. Richard is an IAPP-certified information privacy
professional. He is a founding member of the Conference Board's Council
