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:

It’s been a big year for the privacy profession, from the GDPR to Privacy Shield.
The Practical Privacy Series returns to Washington, DC, right when you need it, with rapid and intensive education to arm you with the knowledge you need to stay ahead of the curve.
IAPP is excited to host this year’s Practical Privacy Series in the home of the official World Trade Center, Washington, DC. Sitting directly between the Capitol and the White House on Pennsylvania Avenue, the Reagan Building is DC’s largest structure and the first and only federal building dedicated to both government and private use.
With so much management emphasis on customer and prospect data for reasons of business development, it would be easy to neglect data protection law aspects of employee data and information on others in the workplace, such as contract workers, interns, and part time workers. With more and more workplace information being processed in the cloud or by outsourced services, it is time to review your current workplace agreements.
How do you introduce into your workplace innovations, such as use of wearable tech, whether for time-keeping or protecting workers in dangerous work places? How do you handle transfers of personal data outside the European Economic Area? How do you deal with staff who deploy social media comments about colleagues? What is your policy on using social media when recruiting staff or conducting investigations?
Assuming that the EU Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is fast approaching in some form or another, how should you prepare? How will the GDPR interact with UK employment law?
Join us and our hosts, Lewis Silkin, in London on 7 December for a day of practical advice on preparing your organisation for adapting your internal policies and procedures regarding data protection in the workplace.
The sessions will cover:
- Monitoring and surveillance update: When is it lawful to monitor your workers?
- The pitfalls of social media and Bring Your Own Device/Choose Your Own Device (BYOD/CYOD) – innovative and flexible working practice or cyber-security nightmare?
- Transfers from the European Economic Area (EEA) following Schrems and the EU-US Privacy Shield
- The Anatomy of a Data Subject Access Request (dSAR)
- The EU Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): What does it mean for employers?
- What is the effect of Brexit on Data Protection law?

President Obama has spoken: Privacy is important to the federal government and resources are on the way to help. With initiatives like the Federal Privacy Council and Circular A-130, it’s clear that privacy professionals have a new mandate and a strong voice at their back. But that doesn’t make the job any easier. The focus of this year’s IAPP Practical Privacy Series is on the new people and tools you’ll need to take on the president’s imperative.
Consumers enjoy recommendations based on their television viewing habits (“viewers who watched Mr. Robot… may enjoy Fight Club”), but who else knows what you’re watching? The golden age of television has arrived with the golden age of television tracking. In 2016, virtually all television delivery systems – smart TVs, streaming devices, game consoles, apps, and even old-fashioned set top boxes – track consumers’ viewing habits, and sometimes in new and unexpected ways. Television and streaming device manufacturers, software developers, and the advertising industry are collaborating to learn more about what consumers are watching. These collaborations are allowing advertisers to precisely target consumers and better understand what ads are working. Consumers may even find advertisements based on their television viewing habits appearing on their phones and desktop browsers. The Smart TV workshop will explore the following questions:
What are the roles of hardware manufacturers and software developers in creating tracking technologies?
What do consumers understand about how their entertainment preferences are being tracked, disclosed, and used for various purposes?
How are entertainment preferences being linked to individuals or to individuals’ device graphs?
How is the advertising industry using this information?
What are some best practices for addressing consumer privacy on entertainment systems?
