With companies such as Apple closing ‘back doors’ on their products rendering customer data more secure, law enforcement agencies such as the FBI have voiced concerns that their ability to combat terrorism and serious organized crime are now compromised. These developments have yet again raised the critical, but as yet unresolved, issue of where – if at all – should a citizen’s right to privacy begin and end, and how can law enforcement ensure public safety and law and order.
What impact should the latest encryption technologies have on cell-phone, Internet and commercial data storage? Should such technologies, for example, protect citizen’s data from law enforcement and Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) search warrants?
This event will be held at The Capitol Hill Club, 300 First Street, SE, Washington D.C. Lunch will be served. For reservations, call 571-970-3180 or email [email protected]

This webinar will discuss, for instance, what corporate and privacy counsel should know about cross-device targeting, offline-to-online data “onboarding,” and COPPA compliance, as well as principles regarding “Sensitive Data,” and how the NAI and DAA principles apply to ad platforms and their clients.

Never in human history have people been more connected than they are today — nor have they been more thoroughly monitored. Over the past year, the disclosures spurred by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden have drawn public attention to the stunning surveillance capabilities of the American intelligence community, and the unprecedented volume of data they collect from about hundreds of millions of people around the world. But the growth of government surveillance is by no means restricted to spies: Even ordinary law enforcement agencies increasingly employ sophisticated tracking technologies, from face recognition software to “Stingray” devices that can locate suspects by sniffing out their cellular phone signals. Are these tools a vital weapon against criminals and terrorists — or a threat to privacy and freedom? How should these tracking technologies be regulated by the Fourth Amendment and federal law? Can we reconcile the secrecy that spying demands with the transparency that democratic accountability requires?
This inaugural Cato Surveillance Conference will explore these questions, guided by a diverse array of experts: top journalists and privacy advocates; lawyers and technologists; intelligence officials … and those who’ve been targets of surveillance. And for the more practically minded, a special Crypto Reception, following the Conference, will teach attendees how to use privacy-enhancing technologies to secure their own communications.
