As surveys continue to experience declining response rates and incur rising costs, the research community from government, business, and academia have been turning to administrative data as a powerful supplement. However, standards for accessing and using administrative data for research purposes are currently not well established in the US.

Join the Administrative Data Research Facilities (ADRF) Network, a newly formed collective of professionals, at our inaugural conference to share approaches and foster collaborative opportunities in advancing this emerging field.

The conference will kick off Monday afternoon with a colloquium on trust, transparency, and privacy. Tuesday will feature a full day of panels on topics of data access, data sharing, and the science of administrative data research.

Please visit www.adrfconference.org for the most up-to-date program. Registration closes November 8, 2017.

This event is co-convened by the Office of the Provost at Georgetown University and Actionable Intelligence for Social Policy at the University of Pennsylvania and is sponsored by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.

Speaker: *Jay Freeman*

Topic:
*That’s How You Get a Dystopia*
Apple/Samsung owns your phone. Google/Facebook owns your data.
Amazon/Microsoft owns your network. It seems we are no longer able to
conceptualize technology without deciding “who owns it?”. Do you want a
dystopia? Because that’s how you get a dystopia.

When you hear about tradeoffs related to freedom, privacy, security, or
even simply quality, too often the discussion is highly theoretical and we
lose people to arguments over “well, that will never happen”. In fact,
there have been enough concrete and documented failures–places where the
software development community has accidentally enabled discrimination or
even directly been forced to support oppressive regimes–that we can learn
quite a bit even limiting ourselves to only what we can glean from major
news headlines.

Attendees of this talk will hopefully obtain a new appreciation of just how
important it is to design decentralized and federated protocols, even when
ostensibly building systems that are “secure, yet centralized” (such as
Signal and even Tor), culminating in a description of Orchid, a
just-announced open-source platform that takes direct aim at Internet
surveillance.

Bio:

Jay Freeman, widely known online as “saurik”, is the developer of Cydia,
the alternative to the App Store used on jailbroken iPhones, iPads, and the
iPod touch. Substrate, the platform he provides developers to alter the
behavior of running programs by way of runtime in-memory patching, has been
used by many thousands of developers and deployed to tens of millions of
users.

Jay’s largely-academic background is in networking, static analysis, and
programming languages, which have resulted in nmap+V (which brought “what
version of what software is running on the remote computer?” to nmap in
2000), Exemplar/Anakrino (the first decompiler for .NET, released in 2001
while .NET was still only available to beta testers), and Cycript (a hybrid
of Objective-C and JavaScript that is often used to explore the behavior of
running programs).

In 2017, along with Brian Fox, Gustav Simonsson, Stephen Bell, and Steve
Waterhouse, Jay co-founded Orchid, a new peer-to-peer protocol and
associated organization with a goal of ensuring surveillance-free access to
the Internet for everyone, everywhere. Orchid combines monetary incentives
(using a cryptocurrency) with design decisions that give users a feeling of
“control” over their Internet connection with a fully-decentralized
protocol to build a secure market for bandwidth.

SmartPrivacy is a practitioner-focused, half day local workshop where privacy professionals can learn from each other about tools and best practices to operationalize their privacy programs. The workshop is hosted by OneTrust, however, is open to any privacy professional regardless of tool or template of choice. A combination or structured educational sessions, peer-lead discussions, and networking allow organizations to share practical tips on topics such as GDPR compliance, how to perform a data inventory, identifying the key stakeholders/privacy champions within your organization, and how to get buy-in from executives. Attendees can expect to receive 4.5 CPE credit hours, the ultimate PIA/DPIA, Data Inventory & Mapping, and Data Subject Rights Handbooks, access to free software tools, how-to guides, and best practices documents on the topics covered.

New TrustArc / IAPP Benchmarking Research on Current Compliance and High Priority Risk Areas

The EU GDPR presents compliance challenges for organizations across the globe. With the compliance clock ticking, companies have to prioritize where to invest their efforts and resources in the run up to potential enforcement actions from May 2018 onwards. TrustArc and the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) have conducted research benchmarking current compliance and what companies considered the highest priority areas, the risks of non-compliance and what can help – whether outside counsel or technology solutions.

Register now for this webinar to hear first hand:
– Ranking of top GDPR compliance risks from over 500 privacy professionals
– Differing compliance concerns between US and EU-based companies
– Most common steps taken to mitigate compliance risks
– Analysis of the findings from leading privacy experts at IAPP and TrustArc

Can’t make it? Register anyway – we’ll automatically send you an email with both the slides and recording after the webinar!

The 10th Annual BCLT Privacy Lecture will be presented by Christine L. Borgman, Distinguished Professor and Presidential Chair in Information Studies at UCLA and Director of the UCLA Center for Knowledge Infrastructures. Prof. Borgman will explore the clash between two trends. One is for academic researchers to provide open access to their data in connection with grants and publications; the other is for universities to accumulate vast amounts of data about the activities of their communities.

Borgman is the author of more than 250 publications in information studies, computer science, and communication. Her most recent book is Big Data, Little Data, No Data: Scholarship in the Networked World (MIT, 2015).
