Each individual should have the right to choose how personal data is used, according to Microsoft Corp. Chief Executive Officer Satya Nadella. New business models can be used to use data that’s ethically collected and shared, while respecting one’s right over personal information that’s been uploaded into a system. This, he said, will lead to “data integrity”.

Nadella was speaking at a panel hosted by World Economic Forum Chairman Charles Schwab.
