Data Privacy Regulations are rapidly changing in the Asia as more businesses and users turn towards cloud computing, mobile and Internet technology. Companies that do not invest in cybersecurity, data privacy and protection will risk not being adequately protected from data breaches and worse yet, some could be unknowingly violating data privacy laws which could see them losing millions of dollars as well as damaging their reputations.
Data privacy issues know no boundaries. To participate in the Asian growth story, companies based outside of Asia must invest in efforts to understand the Asian experience and how it relates to practices in your home country. For the Asiancommunity, it is time to come together and collectively strengthen our practices to ensure continued growth. Customer trust drives business and data privacy is imperative for business growth.
More than 20 sessions over the two-day conference, followed by another 2 days of in-depth training workshops. Join us at Data Privacy Asia 2015 to expand your knowledge and understand how you can prepare for the region’s Data Privacy Revolution.

The Privacy Law Salon: Policy Roundtable will address the extensive activity around privacy these days, from federal and state legislation to international activity to new self-regulatory codes. President Obama has made a call for student privacy legislation, a call for strengthening cybersecurity, and for balancing privacy and security measures. The FTC has issued a report on the Internet of Things, and the White House has issued a report on Big Data. As we enter the fall legislative season, what are the prospects of these policy proposals? There is a new Cali Assembly committee on Privacy and Consumer Protection. There are coming hearings about drones. What issues are likely to gain the most traction?
While most people are conditioned to see through the marketing hype surrounding “revolutionary!” and “game-changing!” new technologies, few have the same healthy skepticism when it comes to outsized claims about allegedly dire privacy risks that now routinely accompany many of the very same innovations. Taken at face value, these supposed privacy risks suggest that government should intervene to protect society. A closer look, however, reveals that privacy concerns are often misplaced or unnecessary, and they rapidly dissipate as people come to better understand and appreciate the products and services in question.
At this event, ITIF will release a new report examining this recurring “privacy panic cycle”—a common trajectory of overwrought privacy claims and hysterical fears that often follow the introduction of a new technology, only to dissipate as cooler heads prevail. Following a presentation on the report, panelists will discuss how policymakers can look beyond the cycle of fear and put in place policies that create consumer protections while also supporting the adoption and deployment of technologies.
The event is free, open to the public, and complies with ethics rules. It will be webcast live on this page and a recording will be available afterward.
The Judicial Redress Act of 2015 (S. 1600) would extend the U.S. Privacy Act to enable some foreign citizens to pursue civil remedies to ensure the accuracy of their information shared pursuant to an agreement between the U.S and their respective governments.

The recent past has brought an increasing use of integrated online services for information discovery, the publication of personal information and an extensive exchange of opinions. Companies and institutions have greatly enhance their means to collect information about individuals at the same time, and their deployment and utilization is ever more sophisticated and widespread. A parallel trend exhibits the move towards cloud computing, the outsourcing of both data and processing to external providers.
The Privacy and Inference workshop in consequence aims at uniting scientists that are currently interested in, and working on solutions to better protect the privacy of both the individuals with the desire to share information online, as well as institutions that actively outsource data and computation to cloud providers. It will hence encompass research advances in all areas of private inference and countermeasures to unwanted inference on personal information.
