ePrivacy Directive: Combining modern marketing & Privacy

February 8

Free

February 8th, 2017
18:00 – 20:00 o’clock, followed by a cocktail
European Parliament
Brussels

This year, FEDMA’s annual event is dedicated to the review of the ePrivacy Directive. The European Commission has published a legislative proposal on the 10th of January, for a regulation to replace the old ePrivacy Directive, also known as the cookie Directive.

This event will look at the intent of the European Commission with this proposal, and discuss the various views that the proposal has generated, including from the European Parliament and the Council.

Is the proposal coherent with modern marketing practices and consumer’s privacy expectations, which both have evolved, supported by technological developments, changes in habits and perception? Discussions will evolve around the economic and societal contribution of data driven marketing, and the importance of consumer choice and trust, highlighting the ethical efforts of our industry as well as the development of many easy tools for consumers to express their choice.

The review of the ePrivacy directive will impact the existing rules governing many communication channels used by the data driven marketing industry (email marketing, telemarketing, online behavioural advertising…). This event will be the occasion to feed directly in the discussions with policy makers, reminding them of our industry’s efforts to preserve consumer’s privacy and trust, and present them with concrete tools the industry has developed to empower consumers.

Speakers include: MEP Axel Voss, Claire Bury, Deputy Director General at DG CNECT,Wojciech Wiewiórowski, Asistant EDPS, Andrew Camilleri, Senior Policy Officer Telecom, Maltese Presidency…

Roundtable – “Translating privacy requirements to zeros and ones”

As the cost of privacy violations increases, organizations are looking for ways to effectively implement their policies throughout business units and functions, as well as be demonstrably compliant with them. Both of these challenges require some form of automation in day to day privacy management. The role of privacy engineering and technology will be central to privacy professionals in 2017. This roundtable discussion will focus on the tangible opportunities to overcome subjectiveness and dependencies in translating regulatory requirements to solutions that can be digitally managed.

Date: February 14th, 5-7pm

Where: WeWork Transbay, 535 Mission St., SF CA (Room 20C)

Innovation Foundation (ITIF) 
 
Countries are increasingly pursuing protectionist measures that require businesses to store data locally. While these countries may argue such measures are necessary to create domestic job growth or to ensure data privacy and security, the reality is that localization policies are a detriment to digital trade and economic growth. Our panel will discuss the data localization challenges companies face globally and how they can be addressed. 
 
Discussion 2: Effective Solutions for Privacy Regulators
 
Maureen Ohlhausen, Chairman, Federal Trade Commission
Lisa Sotto, Chair of the Privacy and Cybersecurity Practice, Hunton and Williams
Karen Kornbluh, Executive Vice President of External Affairs, Nielsen
 

Privacy regulations continue to pop up around the world. As no two regulations are the same, the business community is faced with interpreting and complying with different laws across multiple jurisdictions. Our discussion will describe some best practices and strategies for how the business community and privacy regulators can better engage to ensure compliance.
