The Consumer Reports Innovation Lab is launching a testing application for the Data Rights Protocol, an open standard for exchanging data rights requests to make it easier for companies to comply with consumer privacy laws. The app, OSIRAA v0.5, is available on GitHub and can be used by "both authorized agent and privacy infrastructure provider companies looking to implement the protocol," Lead Engineer John Szinger said. With OSIRAA, Szinger said companies "can test against the protocol on their own and refine their implementations as needed."
