Fideslang ( fee-dez-læŋg, derived from the Latin term "Fidēs" and "language") is a taxonomy developed to standardize the way privacy and governance-related data elements, purposes of data use, and subjects are labeled and described. This taxonomy provides an interoperable standard designed to assist businesses in navigating the complex landscape of global privacy regulations.
In collaboration with Ethyca, IAB Tech Lab received a donation of Fideslang to accelerate the development of privacy standards within the ad tech industry. Fideslang represents five years of dedicated work aimed at enhancing data privacy practices by creating a universal language that bridges the gap between legal and development teams. This innovation aligns seamlessly with the IAB Tech Lab's Privacy Taxonomy Project, a key initiative of the Privacy Implementation & Accountability Task Force. The project aims to create a standardized privacy taxonomy that enables businesses to effectively manage their data privacy compliance and communicate privacy information more clearly across the industry.

The IAB Tech Lab Privacy Taxonomy is composed of three main classification groups: Data Elements, Data Uses, and Data Subjects. These groups work together to describe the data types, purposes of use, and data owners (subjects) of data being processed for privacy and governance purposes. Below, you can explore the primary components of the taxonomy.
