| The IAPP Global Privacy Summit is where the worldwide privacy profession gathers annually—from DPAs and top regulators to newly-minted privacy pros. We invite you to join us in Washington, DC, this March. Everyone knows 2018 will be a landmark year in privacy. Make sure you’re a part of it. |
The premier global event for the identity industry, the KNOW Identity Conference is the nexus for identity innovation, offering a uniquely differentiated, powerful, and immersive event that convenes the world’s most influential organizations and smartest minds across industries to shape the future of identity.
The 2018 KNOW Identity Conference will be held March 26-28, 2018 at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in Washington, D.C.
Although the EU is investing heavily in research in artificial intelligence (AI), the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which will go into effect in May, includes numerous provisions that will impede the development and use of AI in Europe. For example, the GDPR establishes a right to have a human review and explain algorithmic decisions, a requirement that will make it more difficult for companies to automate certain processes using AI. Similarly, the GDPR creates a right for consumers to demand that companies erase all copies of their personal data, a requirement that may undermine the integrity of algorithmic models. Furthermore, the huge fines associated with failing to comply with the GDPR, along with uncertainty about how to comply, poses risks even for companies doing their best to comply.
Join the Center for Data Innovation for an overview of a new report outlining how the GDPR will impact the development and use of AI, and a panel discussion about what Europe should do to support increased AI development and adoption.

| This series of 3 one day 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. 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. Each Roundtable will be limited to 25 people to facilitate discussion in a relaxed atmosphere. Lunch is included at each Roundtable, ideal for networking. GDPR HELP! ROUNDTABLES – Session 3: On The Starting Blocks Date: 28 March 2018, 09.00h.-17.30h. Programme: Registration: Each session qualifies for 6 CPD hours. Every Privacy Laws & Business event qualifies for accredited CPD hours for the purposes of the England and Wales Solicitors Regulation Authority’s requirements. Please quote AQJ/PLBU when applying for the points with the SRA. |

There are many benefits to making health data
available for secondary purposes, such as academic
research and drug development. One legal basis for
doing so is to obtain patient consent, however, this
has a number of practical challenges. The main
alternative legal basis is to de-identify the data. This
presentation will describe risk-based de-identification
techniques that have been in use for more than a
decade globally to de-identify health data. The basic
principle is to balance the risk of identity disclosure
with data utility that would facilitate beneficial uses of
the data. Methodological as well as practical
considerations will be discussed.
==============CALL FOR PAPERS==============************************************** Privacy by Design in PracticeTrack at the 33rd ACM Symposium on Applied Computing************************************** The Symposium
———————
For over thirty years has the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing been a primary gathering forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers, software engineers, and application developers from around the world. SAC 2018 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP www.acm.org/sigapp). Its proceedings are published by ACM; they are also available on the web through the ACM Digital Library www.acm.org/dl. More information about SAC 2018 can be found at www.sigapp.org/sac/sac2018/. The Privacy by Design in Pract
ice track
—————————————————
The aim of this track is to promote research on privacy-preserving technologies to be used in practice. “Privacy by Design” is a requirement in the new EU data protection regulation, which will be applied in the EU countries from May 2018. Thus, privacy needs to be considered by engineers from the beginning and built in to newly developed systems properly.
The track seeks submissions from academia, industry and public authorities (e.g. data protection agencies) presenting novel research on how to implement Privacy by Design in practice. Examples of successful projects where Privacy by Design has been implemented in practice are especially welcome. Legal researchers bringing in their view on Privacy by Design are also very welcome to submit papers to this track to foster multi-disciplinary research. Topics of the track include, but are not limited to:
– Privacy Engineering
– Privacy-enhancing Technologies
– Anonymization and Pseudonymization
– Privacy in the Internet of Things (e.g. Smart Home, Smart City, Connected Cars, Smart TV, Smart Grid, etc.)
– Privacy and Quantified Self
– Privacy Laws and their impacts on technology
– Conflict between Privacy and SecurityImportant Dates

Event:
Please join us at a poster session celebrating the final projects of the IPSI course “Seminar in Identity, Privacy and Security”. This year’s final projects cover a wide range of topics on current practices and emerging applications, which include privacy and security issues related to the smart home, unmanned aerial vehicles, blockchain technology, and multimedia forensics. Students will provide an in-depth discussion on potential solutions for the issues, such as policy changes and technical implementations. All are welcome and we hope to see you there!
