TCIEG’s Two Pillars: Standards and Common Public Practice
TCIEG's proposed two pillar approach connects development of the Transparency Stack with development of the Internet Transparency Code of Practice.
Operational Transparency
How the Transparency Stack Makes Transparency Operational
How common practice, accountable identification, semantic notice standards, and a proposed Digital Privacy Control Vocabulary connect disclosure to digital operations.
Position Papers
Digital Public Transparency Opens New Possibilities
Common digital transparency turns disclosure into capability, opening new possibilities for individuals, responsible organisations, developers, and regulators.
Position Papers
Why TCIEG Exists: Trust You Can Verify, Data You Control
The origin story of TCIEG, from Ana Brian Nougrères’ CPDP keynote to Operational Transparency: trust that can be verified, and data control that starts before identification.

Where ITCoP stands: from CPDP Brussels to expert input
The Internet Transparency Code of Practice was introduced at CPDP in May 2026. Its requirements are now being shaped by expert input through the TCIEG survey.
Operational Transparency
Operational transparency: why the old privacy model fails
Privacy controls were built for a visible relationship. Digital systems now identify, infer and transfer before the individual knows who is accountable, so transparency has to move earlier.
Notice & Consent
REALconsent: consent that can be shown to have happened
A click recorded after someone has already been identified is a system permission, not evidence of an informed choice. REALconsent sets out what has to be in place for consent to be real, and provable later.
Transparency Law & Standards
ANCR Release 1: what a notice receipt records
The Kantara ANCR extension to ISO/IEC TS 27560:2023 defines four records that let anyone check who was accountable for a notice, which version was shown, and when, without identifying the person who received it.
Digital ID
Co-regulated digital identification: eight tests you can check
Every online interaction runs under two rule sets at once. ANCR Release 1 turns the public one into records anyone can inspect, and sets eight conformance tests, each checked by looking at a record.
Transparency Law & Standards
ISO/IEC TS 27560:2023: consent as structured evidence
The consent record information structure turns consent from a setting inside one application into evidence that can be kept, exchanged, compared and audited.
Transparency Law & Standards
ISO/IEC 29184: a record cannot repair a late notice
ISO/IEC 29184 sets the controls for how an online privacy notice is presented and how consent is asked for. Evidence only helps if the notice itself was clear, timely and tied to the processing.
Transparency Law & Standards
ISO/IEC 29100: where openness and notice begin
The first standard in the Transparency Stack supplies the shared privacy vocabulary and principles that notice, consent and evidence are later tested against.
