About the Research:

This Article examines the matrix of vulnerabilities that low-income people face as a result of the collection and aggregation of big data and the application of predictive analytics. It reports on original empirical findings from a large, nationally-representative telephone survey with an oversample of low-income American adults, and highlights how these patterns make particular groups of low-status Internet users uniquely vulnerable to various forms of surveillance and networked privacy-related problems. In particular, a greater reliance on mobile connectivity, combined with lower usage of privacy-enhancing strategies, may contribute to various privacy and security-related harms. The Article then discusses three scenarios in which big data—including data gathered from social media inputs—is being aggregated to make predictions about individual behavior: employment screening, access to higher education, and predictive policing. As policymakers consider reforms, the Article urges greater attention to impacts on low-income persons and communities.

About the presenters:

Mary Madden is a veteran technology researcher, writer and public speaker, having studied trends in American internet users’ behaviors and attitudes for more than a decade. She is currently leading a Data & Society initiative to understand the privacy and security experiences of low-socioeconomic status populations. Supported by a grant from the Digital Trust Foundation, the project will provide freely accessible survey data to researchers working in this area and will seek to answer key questions that can help ground current policy conversations and debates about privacy and security in the digital age.

Mary is also an Affiliate at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University where she has collaborated with the Berkman Center’s Youth and Media Project to apply quantitative and qualitative research methods to study adolescents’ technology use and privacy management on social media. Prior to her role at Data & Society, Mary was a Senior Researcher for the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project. She is a nationally recognized expert on privacy and technology, trends in social media use, and the impact of digital media on teens and parents. Mary is also a member of the National Cyber Security Coalition’s Data Privacy Day Advisory Committee and the Research Advisory Committee for the Future of Music Coalition’s Artist Revenue Streams Project.

Michele Gilman is the Venable Professor of Law and Director of Clinical Education at the University of Baltimore School of Law. Professor Gilman teaches in the Civil Advocacy Clinic, where she supervises students representing low-income individuals and community groups in a wide range of litigation, legislation, and law reform matters. She also teaches evidence, federal administrative law, and poverty law. Professor Gilman writes extensively about privacy, poverty, and social welfare issues, and her articles have appeared in journals including the California Law Review, the Vanderbilt Law Review, and the Washington University Law Review. She is a co-director of the Center on Applied Feminism, which works to apply the insights of feminist legal theory to legal practice and policy. She received her B.A. from Duke University, and her J.D. from the University of Michigan Law School.

Certify your Privacy Program: Why and How? @ Online Event
Oct 26 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am
Certify your Privacy Program: Why and How? @ Online Event

Apart from just showing internally that you are compliant with the law, many companies are also looking for more public ways to confirm that they are meeting their data protection obligations. The GDPR offers various options to do so: adherence to a (sectoral) code of conduct, the development of Binding Corporate Rules or certification.

Article 42 and 43 GDPR allow for the development of certification mechanisms, seals and trust marks to demonstrate compliance with the provisions of the Regulation. In addition, the GDPR offers the possibility to non-EU data controllers, to certify their privacy program to assert they have implemented appropriate safeguards for data protection. This specific certification would allow for data transfers, even when no adequacy decision is in place. Nymity currently has a research project ongoing that looks into the various elements of GDPR certification.

During this webinar, we will look at both past and current certification mechanisms across the world and discuss lessons learned, based on our research project. Next, we will look ahead at what certification mechanisms under the GDPR could look like and why companies should consider to certify their privacy programs or their privacy technology. This will include the question if, and to what extent, Binding Corporate Rules could be regarded as a form of certification. Finally, we will discuss with representatives of the Article 29 Working Party what their guidance on the use of certifications under the GDPR could entail.
