The Program on Economics & Privacy at George Mason University’s Antonin Scalia Law School and the Future of Privacy Forum are seeking papers to explore the development of a benefit-cost framework in privacy policy. Scholars from an interdisciplinary background, including economics, law, public policy, business and marketing, are encouraged to submit abstracts for consideration.
Selected submissions will be presented at the Fifth Annual Public Policy Symposium on the Law & Economics of Privacy and Data Security Policy, on June 8, 2017, at the Antonin Scalia Law School, and published in a special symposium issue of the Journal of Law, Economics & Policy.
The Program on Economics & Privacy, in partnership with the Future of Privacy Forum, and the Journal of Law, Economics & Policy, will hold its 5th Annual Public Policy Conference on the Law & Economics of Privacy and Data Security, on Thursday, June 8, 2017 at George Mason University Antonin Scalia Law School in Arlington, VA.
Data flows are central to an increasingly large share of the economy. A wide array of products and business models—from the sharing economy and artificial intelligence to autonomous vehicles and embedded medical devices—rely on personal data. Consequently, privacy regulation leaves a large economic footprint. As with any regulatory enterprise, the key to sound data policy is striking a balance between competing interests and norms that leaves consumers better off; finding an approach that addresses privacy concerns, but also supports the benefits of technology is an increasingly complex challenge. Not only is technology continuously advancing, but individual attitudes, expectations, and participation vary greatly. New ideas and approaches to privacy must be identified and developed at the same pace and with the same focus as the technologies they address.
This year’s conference will explore the development of a benefit-cost framework in privacy policy. Scholars from interdisciplinary backgrounds, including economics, law, public policy, business and marketing, will address topics such as: How to evaluate the success of data control programs?; When should ex ante regulation be favored to ex post enforcement?; How should regulators account for subjective privacy harms?; and What are the benefits from tailored content and advertising?
The Digital Advertising Alliance Summit is the one event DAA holds each year, bringing together all stakeholders for effective self-regulation in relevant ad content and messaging based on responsible data collection. In 2017, DAA will hold its fifth Summit, returning to Greater Washington, DC (June 13-14-15). The theme for this year’s event is “Furthering Consumer Trust Through Dynamic Self-Regulation.”
- The conference will open Tuesday, June 13, with a Digital Advertising Accountability Workshop, in cooperation with the Council of Better Business Bureau’s Advertising Self-Regulatory Council, the Data & Marketing Association and Network Advertising Initiative.
- Then later that day, we kick off DAA Summit 2017 with a Welcome Reception at an extraordinary location– followed by a full day of programming and networking breaks on Wednesday, June 14. All these events are slated in Loudon County, in the heart of Virginia’s wine country.
- On Thursday, June 15, DAA will host its first Capitol Hill visit with courtesy transportation to and from the Summit’s Lansdowne Resort location.
By special DAA arrangement, the June 13-14-15 event also will enable attendees to extend their stay through the weekend (night of June 17) or to arrive early (night of June 12) at a special negotiated conference rate – providing substantial savings and a unique mini-vacation venue. Lansdowne Resort is family- and pet-friendly, with many outdoor activities including golf, biking, water sports and more.
DAA’s Summit uniquely brings brands, publishers, brands, agencies and ad tech together to explore what’s next in interest-based advertising – and how self-regulation can flexibly keep pace with the multi-screen, cross-device consumer. The event is tailored to marketers talking to marketers, with counsel, product development and innovation functions well represented.

Join Consumer Policy Solutions as we start to address the question: What Does “Free” Really Mean in the Digital World.
As consumers navigate the online world, there are endless opportunities to access free apps, websites, search engines, social networks, and more without paying any fees. In this environment, consumers believe that their activity and data consumption on the web is free; however, are these services and resources truly “free” to the consumer? In what ways do consumers avoid some costs, but bear others? Join this esteemed panel of discussants as they help us understand what “free” actually means on the web, and how the current system of ad-supported businesses offering free services raise privacy concerns and other issues for consumers. The program will bring together experts from the telecommunications and digital advertising industry, academics, and diverse consumer voices to address these questions and more. When: Wednesday, June 14th, 2017 10:00 A.M. – 11:15 A.M.
Where: Hogan & Lovells, 555 13th Street, Room 13-202 Panelists: |

| Many privacy officers seem to be under the impression that Article 30 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) on records of processing activities creates a legal obligation for a data inventory or data mapping. This is not the case. The GDPR replaces current legal obligations that require you to notify and register your processing activities with local DPAs. Under the GDPR you are no longer required to make such notifications but rather are required to maintain a record of all your organisation’s processing activities internally and to make it available to supervisory authorities upon request. So, just like you had an external register, you now need an on-demand internal record.
This webinar starts with a look at the Supervisor Authority perspective and the rationale behind the creation of Article 30. Then, the webinar will discuss how to incent the business to maintain a processing-based inventory that when used in the EU will turn GDPR article 30 reporting into an outcome. Plus, learn the power of focusing on purposes of data processing and hear from one company who has implemented this approach in practice to understand how it betters aligns with business operations and practices and is much easier to scale, update and maintain. Hear also about local Article 30 GDPR guidance, including the Article 30 template guide recently released by the French data protection authority (CNIL), further highlighting that the intention behind the GDPR records of processing requirement. At the end of the webinar, learn how Nymity created an innovative approach to Article 30 compliance as we spend a few minutes to introduce a software solution that makes Article 30 GDPR compliance the responsibility of the business, with support and oversight coming from the Privacy Office/DPO. It is called Nymity SmartPIA™. Registration Link: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/4745042867954124801 |
