This event series, which will be held at Columbia University, covers a wide range of topics and includes several interesting workshops. Check out the tentative program here.
The Data Transparency Lab is hosting a 12-hour-long hack day, co-located with the DTL Conferences. The main topic of this hack day is “User Education on Privacy and Transparency”. If you have any ideas for helping users understand why they should care about privacy, you shouldn’t miss this event!
We are looking for:
Apps (mobile app, browser plugin, web site, etc.) that let users understand the privacy implications of their actions
Impactful visualizations that raise awareness on privacy/transparency and make useful data accessible
Educational material (websites, videos, comics, etc.) that can be used in an innovative way to communicate adequately the need for privacy and transparency
See you there!

This series of three roundtables for peer group exchange will focus on managing the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance process. Regulators and policy makers will not be invited to these roundtables.
Whatever happens with Brexit, your organisation will continue to trade with some of the 30 countries in the European Economic Area and you need to ensure that your organisation is complying with the GDPR.
The emphasis will be on sharing experience to help you organise and manage the process rather than giving legal advice on the impact of the GDPR.*
The roundtables will be hosted by companies and take place in London in November 2016 and January and March 2017. Hosts will report on progress in their organisations. In addition, you should expect to discuss your plans with the group. Everyone learns and benefits from this participatory process.
The first roundtable will be hosted by Mark Keddie, Chief Privacy Officer, BT Group on 23 November at its office near St. Pauls in central London.
The second roundtable will be hosted by Ellis Parry, Global Lead – Data Privacy, BP Legal, BP Oil International Ltd on 19 January 2017 at its office in Canary Wharf, London
The third roundtable will be hosted by Google, London, in the second half of March 2017 in London. Offers to host in March, together with your proposed dates, should be e-mailed to [email protected]

The adoption of the GDPR which will apply with direct effect in all EU Member States from May 2018, along with the agreement reached on the EU-US Privacy Shield and the review process of the e-privacy directive, are regarded as crucial steps towards a thriving digital economy and a successful European Digital Single Market.
This year’s conference will discuss the implementation of the new rules and ask how organisations need to rethink their privacy and data protection policies. It will also explore how data-driven innovation can be supported while preserving consumers’ and citizens’ privacy, as well as discussing the extent to which achieving a level-playing field for all market players is possible. Finally, it will examine the new EU Data Protection rules within a global context.
Join legal academics, engineers, company representatives, former public authorities, and others for some perspectives on how ICTs are being mobilized to improve transparency, efficiency, and human rights.
Today, a number of seismic shifts and critical issues in the structure and viability of the advertising industry are taking hold. To examine these issues and their connection to the future of privacy law and ethics, this conference will focus on the future of advertising and privacy.
The overall aim of this workshop on anonymisation is to disseminate the latest advances in the area. There will be a significant number of leading scientists from the INI programme present but talks will be explicitly targeted at a broad audience of users who deal with personal data and are looking for ways to share those data.
The programme of talks will highlight developments in state-of-the-art approaches and techniques including:
- The Anonymisation Decision making Framework
- New developments in privacy models
- Advances in synthetic data production
- Penetration testing
- Designing anonymised data with detailed geography
It will also feature a session on end user perspectives which will include short talks from data holders in the transport, telecoms, finance, energy and health areas. The facilitated panel session will be a forum for questions and discussion around the challenges in the context of various applications with perspectives from both researchers and end-users. It will also afford an opportunity to identify and set the agenda for further common challenges for future research and collaboration. This event will be of interest to data practitioners from all sectors including:
- Government, policy makers, regulatory authorities and statisticians
- Commercial organisations in the financial, retail, telecommunications, transport, utilities and other data intensive environments
- App developers interested in developing anonymisation tools
- Data Science led start ups
- Biomedical and health researchers
- Social and economic researchers
This one day workshop will explore new ways in which data subjects can take an active part in how their data are shared. An interdisciplinary blend of science and technology, social policy, psychology legal analysis will be presented.
Presentations and discussion will explore how people think about privacy and how this interacts with the use of personal data. They will investigate the mechanisms which need to be implemented to improve privacy of data and how the Big Data community can potentially help to address such issues. Presentations will be designed to be accessible to a broad audience and will cover area such as:
- The Public understanding of privacy
- Multifaceted models of privacy
- Consent management
- Personal data stores
- Digital citizenship
- Economic approaches to privacy
Session two of the programme will include short talks from data holders on perspectives and the challenges they face and the day will finish with a facilitated panel discussion.
