We also assess impact in specific circumstances. For example:
Developing new products/ services/ technologies or making substantial changes to existing ones
Vodafone has a Trust-by-Design methodology that ensures customer privacy, security and human rights are considered as part of our product development lifecycle process
Entering new markets, partnerships and acquisitions, or in anticipation of changes in our existing operating environments
As part of our standard commercial process for potential acquisitions, licence applications or new local operator partnerships, human rights impact assessments are a standard issue included in this consideration, together with security and privacy topics.
