The Privacy Sandbox
From October 2021 to July 2023, I led overall strategy for the Privacy Sandbox narrative and covered content for the following APIs and technologies: Attribution Reporting, Private Aggregation, Aggregation Service, FLEDGE, Shared Storage, Fenced Frames, Protected Audience, and more.
The Privacy Sandbox aims to improve user privacy, while supporting business models and capabilities that keep the web healthy. The Privacy Sandbox APIs require web browsers to take on a new role. Rather than working with limited tools and protections, the APIs allow a user’s browser to act on the user’s behalf—locally, on their device—to protect the user’s identifying information as they navigate the web. This is a shift in direction for browsers.
Ads-related APIs encompassed a very large effort, with cross-functional support from our partnerships team, web ecosystem consultants, product, and legal, as well as accountability to the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority.
