PIAs and Data Mapping – Operationalizing GDPR and Privacy by Design

Broadcast Date: Wednesday, August 24, 2016
Time: 11 a.m. – 12 p.m. EDT

Given the new and challenging requirements of the GDPR that will be enacted soon, companies and organizations doing business globally need to think hard about how to best implement efficient and effective data handling practices that are replicable and consistent. Beyond that, taking good care of your customers’ data is simply a necessary business practice in a competitive world, and the right thing to do.

As a privacy professional responsible for overseeing these operations, what tools will you use, and how do you determine what privacy impacts your new products and services will have? A privacy impact assessment (PIA) is the perfect tool to document and track these new initiatives, but it can be a complicated and challenging project to launch. Join us in this virtual discussion as we walk you through the process of creating a PIA, and hear us tackle the critical questions including:

•    When and why a PIA is a necessary and useful tool
•    How PIAs evolve over time:
– Face-to-face conversations
– Informal documentation
– Procedural questionnaire
–  Project and team specific questions
•    What templates should you use, or should you use a template at all?
•    What resources are at your disposal?
•    How to continue to benchmark and improve your PIA over time
•    Once you’ve completed a PIA, how do you share its value with upper management and others in the organization?

Time will be allotted for questions from the audience, and a short demonstration of software tools available to help with the PIA process will be demonstrated following the program.

Privacy Lab – Tools to Teach Privacy @ International Computer Science Institute
Aug 30 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm

On August 30th, we’ll get an overview of two really interesting efforts to teach privacy.

Erin Berman and members of her web team will talk about the process of transforming a broad, intimidating topic like online privacy into a learning opportunity that is personal, approachable, actionable, and reusable. The result, their Virtual Privacy Lab tool, was developed with a grant from the Knight Foundation and is available in three languages. They will be joined by members of the Teaching Privacy team from Berkeley’s International Computer Science Institute, their partners on the Virtual Privacy Lab.  The Teaching Privacywebsite provides information about the various threats to online privacy and how Internet users can make better decisions about their privacy. They also provide educators with lesson plans and materials that they can use to bring privacy education to their classrooms.

Here’s more about their collaboration: At San Jose Public LIbrary (SJPL) we know that knowledge is power. With information we have the option of choice and can decide which services we want to use online and how best to utilize them. In January, with funding from theThe John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, we set out to create a privacy literacy tool. Thiswould be a platform which would inform, educate, and also deliver customized toolkits with tips, links, and resources tailored to fit a user’s unique online needs. We worked in partnership with the Teaching Privacy team from Berkeley’s International Computer Science Institute to create engaging, powerful, and relevant content which could be understood by a wide range of audiences.

After many months of hard work we’re pleased to announce the launch of SJPL’s Virtual Privacy Lab! The Lab has seven privacy modules covering a range of topics. At the end of each module participants have the option of building a personalized toolkit. Those wanting to get started right away can view a curated list of apps, browser extensions, websites, and more. There is also information about how SJPL and Libraries in general work to protect privacy. Users who want to learn even more about online privacy can drill down with our in-depth article. Content on the site is available in Spanish and Vietnamese. Visit the Virtual Privacy Lab now to level up your online privacy!

As per our standard format, the first hour will be devoted to speakers and Q&A, followed by a second hour for informal networking and small group discussions to give speakers and attendees a chance to talk to each other.
Privacy Lab is a meeting for people who are interested in digital privacy in the Bay Area. The goal of these events is to bring together privacy professionals and privacy community members at non-profits, for-profits, and NGOs alike to foster communication and collaboration.

For those who can’t attend in person, we hope to livestream and record the event and will share those details through our email distribution list.

Annual Privacy Forum 2016 @ Goethe University Frankfurt am Main
Sep 7 – Sep 8 all-day

Nowadays electronic communication networks and digital services are an essential part of an increasing number of everyday commodities. In the era of automated profiling and electronic surveillance, citizens face a serious threat against their right to privacy and informational self-determination, especially when using the internet and mobile services. The lack of transparency regarding the functionality and interconnection of such services increases the risk of uncontrollable processing of personal data. In this regard, the upcoming Data Protection Regulation will be a useful instrument to protect the privacy of individuals. However, for its successful implementation, this new framework needs to be enforced by proper technologies and encompassed with sustainable business models along with mechanisms to promote privacy awareness and help users to understand the value of their data.

FTC’s Fall Technology Series: Ransomware @ Constitution Center
Sep 7 @ 1:00 pm

With alarming frequency, ransomware hackers are sneaking into consumer and business computers, encrypting files containing photos, documents and other important data, and then demanding a ransom in exchange for the key needed to decrypt the files. At times, these hackers pose as the FBI or other law enforcement officials and claim that the ransom is a “fine” for viewing illegal material and that failure to pay the “fine” will result in criminal prosecution. Consumers, businesses, and government agencies are falling prey to these schemes, including hospitals whose servers may contain sensitive patient data. New forms of ransomware encrypt files of website operators, threatening not only their files containing stored data, but the very files needed to operate their websites. Other variants of ransomware are now targeting files on mobile devices. The Ransomware workshop will address questions such as:

How do ransomware extortionists gain access to consumer and business computers?

What role can consumer and business education play in preventing ransomware infections?

Are there steps consumers and businesses should be taking to reduce the risk of ransomware or to decrease its impact?

Are there technological measures that computer operating system and web browser designers can take to prevent ransomware?

Are there browser plug-ins or other tools that consumers and businesses can employ that will warn if their data is about to be encrypted?

What can be learned from criminal law enforcement’s efforts to combat ransomware?

If you fall prey to ransomware, should you pay the ransom?

If you pay the ransom, how likely are you to receive the decryption key and be able to view your files?

What happens if you don’t pay the ransom? Are your files lost forever?

IAPP: Privacy. Security. Risk. 2016 @ San Jose Convention Center
Sep 13 – Sep 16 all-day

Innovative since Day 1, P.S.R. brings together two related fields—privacy and security—helping you see beyond your role in order to excel in your role. Because perspective is everything.

Delivering the most thought-provoking speakers, sessions led by foremost experts and invaluable opportunities to connect and share ideas, P.S.R. gives you a world of new perspective. Don’t miss it.

Phenomenal Keynotes:

Monica Lewinsky: Addressing such topics as survival, resilience, digital reputation and equality, Lewinsky will share firsthand perspective on private shame as a very public and in-demand online commodity.

Cathy O’Neil: O’Neil, the self-described Math Babe, in her book Weapons of Math Destruction examines how big data threatens democracy by creating inequality where no one can see it. How can privacy pros potentially head that off at the pass?

Jeffrey Rosen: A foremost authority and thinker on the U.S. Constitution and the Supreme Court of the U.S., Rosen will explore how European ideas of the Right to be Forgotten jibe with the First Amendment and ingrained freedom of expression and the press in the U.S.
