Electronic communication networks and interconnected digital services have become ubiquitous as they have permeated every fold of everyday life. At a time when automated profiling and electronic surveillance have become commodities, citizens and businesses alike may face limitations and threats when they have personal data processed or seek to protect their privacy on the internet or when using general communication services. Limitations in the transparency, the functionality and interconnectivity of online and communication services increases the risk of having personal data processed out of control of any accountable person or organisation or simply becoming exposed to all sorts of privacy threats.
The recalibrated legal framework in the EU as manifested by the promulgation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), is key in an effort to better control the processing of personal data. Additionally the recent EC proposal for a Regulation on Privacy and Electronic Communications is expected to give new impetus to the way privacy is protected in electronic communications. Even the best legislative efforts cannot keep up to speed with the pace of innovative technology and business models that challenge the way personal data is processed and privacy is protected across the EU and beyond; therefore examining what is at stake and where threats thereto originate from becomes of paramount importance.
In the light of GDPR and the recent EC proposal for a Regulation on Privacy and Electronic Communications,DG CONNECT, ENISA and the Law Faculty of the University of Vienna, Arbeitsgruppe Rechtsinformatikis are organizing APF 2017.
APF 2017 will be held at Vienna on 7 & 8 of June. The event encourages dialog with panel discussions and provides room for exchange of ideas in between scientific sessions. Participate to the discussions during APF days, but also by being involved online on our community channels!
The Program on Economics & Privacy at George Mason University’s Antonin Scalia Law School and the Future of Privacy Forum are seeking papers to explore the development of a benefit-cost framework in privacy policy. Scholars from an interdisciplinary background, including economics, law, public policy, business and marketing, are encouraged to submit abstracts for consideration.
Selected submissions will be presented at the Fifth Annual Public Policy Symposium on the Law & Economics of Privacy and Data Security Policy, on June 8, 2017, at the Antonin Scalia Law School, and published in a special symposium issue of the Journal of Law, Economics & Policy.
The Program on Economics & Privacy, in partnership with the Future of Privacy Forum, and the Journal of Law, Economics & Policy, will hold its 5th Annual Public Policy Conference on the Law & Economics of Privacy and Data Security, on Thursday, June 8, 2017 at George Mason University Antonin Scalia Law School in Arlington, VA.
Data flows are central to an increasingly large share of the economy. A wide array of products and business models—from the sharing economy and artificial intelligence to autonomous vehicles and embedded medical devices—rely on personal data. Consequently, privacy regulation leaves a large economic footprint. As with any regulatory enterprise, the key to sound data policy is striking a balance between competing interests and norms that leaves consumers better off; finding an approach that addresses privacy concerns, but also supports the benefits of technology is an increasingly complex challenge. Not only is technology continuously advancing, but individual attitudes, expectations, and participation vary greatly. New ideas and approaches to privacy must be identified and developed at the same pace and with the same focus as the technologies they address.
This year’s conference will explore the development of a benefit-cost framework in privacy policy. Scholars from interdisciplinary backgrounds, including economics, law, public policy, business and marketing, will address topics such as: How to evaluate the success of data control programs?; When should ex ante regulation be favored to ex post enforcement?; How should regulators account for subjective privacy harms?; and What are the benefits from tailored content and advertising?
The Digital Advertising Alliance Summit is the one event DAA holds each year, bringing together all stakeholders for effective self-regulation in relevant ad content and messaging based on responsible data collection. In 2017, DAA will hold its fifth Summit, returning to Greater Washington, DC (June 13-14-15). The theme for this year’s event is “Furthering Consumer Trust Through Dynamic Self-Regulation.”
- The conference will open Tuesday, June 13, with a Digital Advertising Accountability Workshop, in cooperation with the Council of Better Business Bureau’s Advertising Self-Regulatory Council, the Data & Marketing Association and Network Advertising Initiative.
- Then later that day, we kick off DAA Summit 2017 with a Welcome Reception at an extraordinary location– followed by a full day of programming and networking breaks on Wednesday, June 14. All these events are slated in Loudon County, in the heart of Virginia’s wine country.
- On Thursday, June 15, DAA will host its first Capitol Hill visit with courtesy transportation to and from the Summit’s Lansdowne Resort location.
By special DAA arrangement, the June 13-14-15 event also will enable attendees to extend their stay through the weekend (night of June 17) or to arrive early (night of June 12) at a special negotiated conference rate – providing substantial savings and a unique mini-vacation venue. Lansdowne Resort is family- and pet-friendly, with many outdoor activities including golf, biking, water sports and more.
DAA’s Summit uniquely brings brands, publishers, brands, agencies and ad tech together to explore what’s next in interest-based advertising – and how self-regulation can flexibly keep pace with the multi-screen, cross-device consumer. The event is tailored to marketers talking to marketers, with counsel, product development and innovation functions well represented.

Join Consumer Policy Solutions as we start to address the question: What Does “Free” Really Mean in the Digital World.
As consumers navigate the online world, there are endless opportunities to access free apps, websites, search engines, social networks, and more without paying any fees. In this environment, consumers believe that their activity and data consumption on the web is free; however, are these services and resources truly “free” to the consumer? In what ways do consumers avoid some costs, but bear others? Join this esteemed panel of discussants as they help us understand what “free” actually means on the web, and how the current system of ad-supported businesses offering free services raise privacy concerns and other issues for consumers. The program will bring together experts from the telecommunications and digital advertising industry, academics, and diverse consumer voices to address these questions and more. When: Wednesday, June 14th, 2017 10:00 A.M. – 11:15 A.M.
Where: Hogan & Lovells, 555 13th Street, Room 13-202 Panelists: |
The interdisciplinary summerschool on privacy provides an intensive one week academic post-graduate programme teaching privacy from a technical, legal and social perspective. The goal of the summerschool is to provide students with a solid background in the theory of privacy construction, modelling and protection from these three different perspectives. It also aims to help them to establish a first international network with peers and senior academics across these disparate disciplines.
