Introducing The Privacy Collective

A Privacy Co-Op for Small and Medium Businesses

Managing privacy in-house can feel like an endless uphill battle. Regulatory changes keep coming, scrutiny is intensifying, and business demands never let up. All while privacy competes for budget and headcount.

We get it - because we've been there. That's why we started The Privacy Collective.

Our mission is to ease the burden of in-house privacy management through an efficient, collaborative approach.

Instead of going it alone, join a cohort of like-minded professionals at companies like yours. Together, we pool resources to create privacy tools tailored to our businesses. Then we share them across the membership.

The Privacy Collective is a privacy co-op built by and for companies like yours.

Here's how it works:

  • Pool talent and budget to develop practical privacy content applicable to our operations
  • Share work products across the membership to collectively benefit

This means less reinventing the wheel solo, and more progress together.

Annual membership resources include:

  • Best practices, work aids, and tools for your risk profile
  • Maturity bench-marking with similar companies
  • Expert panels on your chosen topics
  • Targeted forums to advance your program
  • Ongoing expert advice

We focus on actionable resources to directly advance your privacy program. And we vet all content to align with industry standards.

The Privacy Collective taps the power of shared expertise and collaboration.

This co-op model brings large enterprise benefits to companies our size. We've seen it work through previous experience with the pharmaceutical industry.

Now we've right-sized it for small and medium businesses like yours.

Benefit from the collective experience of your peers, for a fraction of the cost.

Contact our Advisory Team to learn more and confirm your eligibility. We only accept members who will clearly benefit.

Invest in The Privacy Collective this year, and next year you'll achieve more than you could alone. Let's advance together.

You're not alone! Connect with fellow professionals who understand your day-to-day challenges. Privacy management can feel isolating, but in the Collective you have partners.

How Does the Membership Work?

The Privacy Collective runs on a simple yet powerful membership model designed to maximize value for companies like yours. The Privacy Collective taps into the power of partnership. 

  • We bring together a select cohort of peer companies facing similar privacy challenges and work together for a year at a time. Our small community enables targeted collaboration while preserving confidentiality. Prospective members complete a brief application so we can confirm the collective is a good fit. We want to assemble the right group to achieve our shared goals.
  • Annual dues fund the creation of member-driven work products to directly advance your privacy program for that year. Dues are modest compared to the benefits of our co-created tools. For 2025, the dues start from $25,000. We have 3 membership tiers.
  • Each member company appoints one voting representative to our Board. This ensures your perspective guides our direction.The Board meets annually to decide on initiatives based on member needs. The work plan can adapt to address new priorities that emerge. You'll help shape the solutions most relevant to your company.
  • Experienced privacy advisors facilitate, but members lead. Our talented Advisory Team supports execution of the work plan. But members drive the vision.This formula lets us rapidly develop solutions that are actually actionable and meaningful to you.
