![The future of online privacy: To legislate or not @ Brookings Institution Saul/Zilkha room | Washington | District of Columbia | United States](https://privacycalendar.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/brookings-wordmark-fb-300x158.gif)
Following a series of data breaches and privacy scandals, most notably the controversy surrounding Facebook’s engagement with political firm Cambridge Analytica, there has been increasing discussion over whether Congress should establish comprehensive legislation to protect American consumers’ online privacy. Achieving broad privacy legislation will be a challenge for legislators, given the rapid pace of innovation, but in the coming months, Congress may feel compelled to act. With the recent implications of the EU’s adoption of the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), public pressure may also encourage congressional action.
On July 26, the Center for Technology Innovation at Brookings will host a panel discussion to explore a comprehensive framework for U.S. privacy legislation. The discussion will address both the opportunities and challenges associated with such legislation during a period where big data analytics are fueling the new economy and online consumer data is being manipulated and mined for undemocratic purposes. What should be included in federal privacy legislation? Is either the GDPR or the California Consumer Privacy Act a good model? What types of companies and business models should be covered by legislation? Should different types of companies in the internet ecosystem be regulated the same under a federal system? Which government entity should be responsible for enforcing online privacy guardrails?
After the session, panelists will take audience questions.

![Digital Media, Technology & Privacy Seminar "The Value of First-Party Data in the Ever Changing Marketing Landscape" @ Davis & Gilbert LLP, New York | New York | New York | United States](https://privacycalendar.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Davis-Gilbert-1.jpg)
RSVP: July 27, 2018 to Cheyenne Blount / mailto:[email protected]/ 646.673.8338
With an increased focus on consumer privacy issues both in the United States and Europe, first-party data, such as a company’s customer database, is becoming a safer and easier asset to exploit. That said, there are still privacy issues to consider whenever consumer data is leveraged for marketing purposes. As regulations continue to evolve, streamlining processes for compliance that minimizes impact on customers has become more complicated, yet more important than ever.
For this program, our panel of speakers – comprised of data privacy legal experts and industry leaders who are already dealing with these rapidly changing developments – will address the following topics and issues:
- Privacy-compliant methods for leveraging first party data.
- Opportunities and challenges associated with various data sources and technology practices.
- Best practices for staying on top of regulatory, self-regulatory and legislative developments.
- What to do if/when a company receives an enforcement notice.

![W3C Workshop on Permissions and User Consent Call for Participation](https://privacycalendar.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/W3C-300x204.png)
Sensors, devices, and rich Web APIs bring novel and complex threats to user privacy along with their heightened capabilities. Users may have trouble understanding the nature of the information they disclose and the threats presented by those disclosures. Deciding when and how to seek a user’s consent (“permission”) or when that consent can be inferred or bypassed has been challenging, with different APIs, operating systems, and browsers handling things in different ways.
This workshop brings together security and privacy experts, UI/UX researchers, browser vendors, mobile OS developers, API authors, Web publishers and users to address the privacy, security and usability challenges presented by the complex and overlapping variety of permissions and consent systems that are currently presented for hardware sensors, device capabilities and applications on the Web.
The scope includes:
- user consent;
- bundling of permissions;
- lifetime/duration of permissions;
- permission inheritance to iframes and other embedded elements;
- relation to same origin policy;
- UIs and controls;
- interaction with private browsing modes;
- implicit permission grants;
- progressive permission grants;
- cross-stack permissions: how OS, browser, and web app permissions interact;
- permission transparency;
- relation to regulatory requirements;
- special considerations for systems that use the browser as a pass-through (e.g. EME and Web Authentication); and
- permissions/transparency/UI as it relates to display-less devices that connect to the Internet.
We aim to share experiences and user studies, leading to common understanding of when and how to seek user consent for use of various Web platform capabilities. We expect this workshop to lead to concrete and consistent guidance for API authors and implementers and to identify areas for further standardization or research. An important take-away from this workshop should be guidance on how Permissions APIs should be designed, both now and in the future, considering the rapid evolution of the web platform.
This workshop will build on the meeting on trust and permissions for Web applications held in 2014.

![Managing Multiple Compliance Priorities - GDPR, HIPAA, APEC, ISO 27001, etc. @ Online](https://privacycalendar.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/TrustArc_SocialMedia_wTagline_Master-300x300.jpg)
While the GDPR has dominated the compliance agenda for the past two years, and will continue to be a major focus of attention for the foreseeable future, the reality is most companies have to address a wide range of other privacy regulations encompassing multiple jurisdictions and sectors.
This webinar will review some of the top global compliance priorities and provide insights and best practices into how to balance multiple, complex compliance priorities across your organization.
