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?
Privacy has traditionally been focused on avoiding risk and defined in terms of potential crises averted versus positive contribution to the bottom line. As the GDPR drives privacy closer to the Senior Management team agenda, how can you show the real value of the privacy office? What are the SMART metrics that you can use to show the totality of privacy effort and how can you track these effectively in a complex global organization?
As we look towards 2017 and the future of the privacy profession being able to better quantify, risk, level of effort, value to the organization will be essential to privacy’s ongoing upward trajectory.
Make sure to register for this webinar as we will:
- Review current best practices
- Provide takeaways and new years’ resolutions for when you’re back at your desk

This workshop is designed to help health care entrepreneurs and application developers determine the necessary and appropriate privacy and security safeguards for managing consumer data. Session participants will learn about their responsibilities under the Privacy and Security Rules of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and other federal and California privacy and security laws, and consider strategies for their effective navigation.

The 33rd Chaos Communication Congress (33C3) is an annual four-day conference on technology, society and utopia. The Congress offers lectures and workshops and various events on a multitude of topics including (but not limited to) information technology and generally a critical-creative attitude towards technology and the discussion about the effects of technological advances on society.
For 33 years, the congress has been organized by the community and appreciates all kinds of participation. You are encouraged to contribute by volunteering, setting up and hosting hands-on and self-organized events with the other components of your assembly or presenting your own projects to fellow hackers. Some basic survival guidelines might come in handy for everything not answered in our 33C3 FAQ. Updated information are covered by the CCC Events Blog or via Twitter (@CCC).
Please note that the deadline for submitting your Assembly is (as usual) the 1st of December at 23:59 CET.
As part of the Federal Trade Commission’s PrivacyCon forum in January, the FTC will host a privacy research and development networking event on Jan. 11, 2017, designed to provide a platform for government agencies and non-profits that fund or support privacy research to share information about their programs with researchers.
The networking event will be structured in an exhibition style, enabling attendees to circulate among the various participating organizations to learn more about their research and collaboration opportunities. Participating organizations will include those that offer research grants, fellowships, scholarships, internships, or publication forums for privacy research, as well as organizations interested in partnering on privacy research or providing privacy researchers with access to data, software or other resources.
The event will take place from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. at the FTC’s Constitution Center offices at 400 7th Street SW, Washington, DC, in conference rooms A, B and C.

An annual event to explore the year’s leading privacy research and scholarship that has been judged most useful for policymakers in the United States Congress, in federal and state agencies, and around the world.
We look forward to an exciting program of thought leadership, including academic guest speakers and the authors of this year’s PPPM scholarship (announced & awarded in November), who will engage with policymakers in a discussion of academic ideas with practical real-world impact.
Featuring the official launch of the Privacy Research and Data Responsibility Research Coordination Network (RCN), an effort supported by the National Science Foundation to produce a community of academic researchers and industry practitioners to address research priorities in the National Privacy Research Strategy.
