Under New Foundations, Reynolds leads TRACER in collaboration with a multidisciplinary group of privacy, technology, governance, legal, and industry professionals from around the world.

Privacy is the foundation and purpose of TRACER. It provides a structured way to examine privacy throughout the data lifecycle and understand how data practices and technologies affect people.

TRACER is data-focused, technology-agnostic, and legal-agnostic. Organizations across industries and jurisdictions can apply it to any system that collects, uses, shares, stores, or processes data, including artificial intelligence systems.

The first public white paper, "TRACER: Assessment and Readiness Questionnaire for Human-Centered Connected Systems," introduces a practical questionnaire organizations can use to evaluate privacy readiness, identify gaps and risks, and support collaboration among privacy, legal, technical, governance, risk, and business teams.

"TRACER helps organizations examine gaps between privacy requirements and frameworks while better understanding how data and technology decisions affect people," said Reynolds, Founder and CEO of Debbie Reynolds Consulting LLC and leader of the TRACER effort. "This first public white paper provides a practical privacy resource organizations can begin using now, including when evaluating AI systems."

This white paper represents the first public step in a broader, multiphase TRACER project. Additional work and resources are planned.
