PrivacyWeek @ Vienna
Oct 23 – Oct 29 all-day
PrivacyWeek @ Vienna
The "right to privacy" is a human right.
And yet it is becoming increasingly difficult to protect this privacy. For deliberately as well as unintentionally we leave behind "digital tracks". Ever new technological advances are also being used to gather more and more accurate data about us. These "digital footprints" can help us to discover something new or to understand ourselves and our environment better. They have an impact on our daily lives, our health, our cohabitation and our social fabric. But they also serve as a decision-making base on whether we get a job, an education or a loan or not. And the data stored about us has an impact on future generations, even beyond our demise.

The PrivacyWeek seeks and provides answers to the questions that are becoming ever more important for us as individuals and our society. An extraordinary conference and workshop week in Vienna. For those with whom their privacy is important.
From 23rd to 29th October, the PrivacyWeek is particularly concerned with the data and data traces that we leave online and offline. Data providers, BigData, anonymisation of data, tracking as well as analysis and evaluation of user data.

Find out what data companies are storing about you, how they evaluate them, and how to deal with the ever-increasing amount of data others are collecting about you. Numerous lectures and workshops with international experts provide you with knowledge as well as practical tips. A whole week of concentrated information!

In addition to our broad-based program, there are 3 focus days this year with the focus on special target groups: journalists, programmers and educators.

You can find a first impression of the planned program here.
At other conferences, you often only have lectures, which are partly made up of product and company presentations.
The PrivacyWeek offers more:

No product or company presentations.
Workshops, in order to put the learned knowledge into practice.
Discussion and questioning.
"Ask the Experts". After a series of short impulses, you have the opportunity to deepen your knowledge in a small group.
An interactive exhibition will show you the data lanes you leave online.
Streaming of selected lectures, which will also be available after the PrivacyWeek.
This year, too, we will be able to present a series of high-caliber lecturers. In nearly 100 individual events, we provide you with first-class information on the subject of "privacy in the digital age". No sales pitches, no product presentations - but high-quality lectures and workshops. We are still expanding our program.
Tickets for the PrivacyWeek are now available.

Online in advance until 15.10.2017 with transfer or credit card.
Or (in the sense of anonymous participation) in the cash sale on the spot.

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.
