What Can Be Done to Protect Endangered Government Data? @ Washington D.C.
Feb 27 @ 9:00 am – 10:30 am
What Can Be Done to Protect Endangered Government Data? @ Washington D.C.  | Washington | District of Columbia | United States

The federal government has made significant strides towards making vast amounts of government data freely available to the public, and businesses, researchers, civil society groups, journalists, and many others have put open data to good use. However, recent events suggest that some open government data may be at risk. For example, in February 2017, the Department of Agriculture abruptly blocked public access to an animal abuse database used by businesses across the country; in March 2017, the Department of Health and Human Services announced it would no longer ask questions about sexual orientation and gender identity to National Survey on Older Americans Act participants, sacrificing a valuable opportunity to collect data about pressing intersectional social issues; and in October 2017, the Federal Bureau of Investigation released its annual report on crime statistics with 70 percent fewer data tables than the prior year’s report.

As part of Endangered Data Week, the Center for Data Innovation will host a panel discussion about the risks to open government data, especially in agencies that are underfunded and understaffed, and what can be done to protect this data in the years to come.

The event will be live-streamed on datainnovation.org. Follow the conversation on Twitter using #datainnovation.

Employee/Applicant Data: The Interplay of Privacy and Diversity Efforts
With underrepresentation of diverse groups in the tech industry, and given that diverse workplaces can lead to better products and more successful companies, many Silicon Valley companies are undertaking efforts to improve diversity in their workforce. However, this requires the collection of information (from both applicants and employees) that can be considered sensitive, such as ethnic origin. In the US many companies believe that ensuring diversity justifies information collection, however, thelaws or norms in other countries may not allow or severely restrict collection and use of such information. How do companies address this potential conflict? In addition, if they can collect such information, how do they protect it, especially given that some data sets are so small that they can’t really be anonymized for reporting purposes? And how do they give people control over information about themselves, including the right to revoke or delete it? Join us for an important conversation about the tension between two competing goods.
Hosted by The Markkula Center for Applied Ethics and the High Tech Law Institute at Santa Clara University.
Panelists:
  • Alicia Gray – Trust & Privacy Manager, Mozilla
  • Shoshana Isaac – Employment Attorney, Mozilla
  • Jackie Wilkosz – Senior Privacy Council and HR Privacy Lead at Intuit

PrivacyCon 2018 @ Washington, D.C.
Feb 28 all-day
PrivacyCon 2018 @ Washington, D.C. | Washington | District of Columbia | United States

Building on the success of its two previous PrivacyCon events, the Federal Trade Commission announced a call for presentations for its third PrivacyCon, which will take place on February 28, 2018.

The 2018 PrivacyCon will expand collaboration among leading privacy and security researchers, academics, industry representatives, consumer advocates, and the government. As part of this initiative, the FTC is seeking general research that explores the privacy and security implications of emerging technologies, such as the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and virtual reality. The 2018 event will focus on the economics of privacy including how to quantify the harms that result from companies’ failure to secure consumer information, and how to balance the costs and benefits of privacy-protective technologies and practices.

The PrivacyCon call for presentations seeks research and input on a wide range of issues and questions to build on previously presented research and promote discussion, including:

  • What are the greatest threats to consumer privacy today?  What are the costs of mitigating these threats? How are the threats evolving? How does the evolving nature of the threats impact consumer welfare and the costs of mitigation?
  • How can companies weigh the costs and benefits of security-by-design techniques and privacy-protective technologies and behaviors? How can companies weigh the costs and benefits of individual tools or practices?
  • How can companies assess consumers’ privacy preferences?
  • Are there market failures (e.g. information asymmetries, externalities) in the area of privacy and data security? If so, what tools and strategies can businesses or consumers use to overcome or mitigate those failures? How can policymakers address those failures?

Submissions for PrivacyCon must be made by November 17, 2017.

PrivacyCon is free and open to the public, and will be held at the FTC’s Constitution Center Office, located at 400 7th St., SW, Washington, DC. PrivacyCon will also be webcast live. The webcast link will appear at the top of this page approximately 10 minutes before the conference begins.

Also, in an effort to encourage the next generation of privacy and data security researchers, the FTC will host a PrivacyCon Student Poster Session, which will coincide with PrivacyCon and be hosted in the conference rooms of the FTC’s Constitution Center Office, adjacent to the auditorium where PrivacyCon will be presented. PrivacyCon presenters and attendees will be encouraged to view the posters and interact with students, including during the lunch break.
