Energy Data Privacy: How Climate Changes Everything
======================
Description:
Energy data used to be boring. The utility read your meter 12 times a
year, and no one cared much about seeing your utility bill history.
Nowadays, things are very different. As the $10+ trillion energy
transition to renewables ramps up to fight climate change, private
energy data access is a critical requirement to deploy and manage
distributed energy resources like solar, battery storage, electric
vehicles, demand response, and energy efficiency.
Also, to make things harder, smart meters are second only to smart
phones in how much they know about your day-to-day life. They know
when you’re home, when you’re at work, when you’re sleeping, when
you’re watching TV, when you’re taking a shower, when you’re having
sex. So how do we make the switch to a carbon-free future without
compromising energy data privacy? What will the future of energy data
privacy look like?
======================
Bio:
Daniel Roesler is the co-founder and CEO of UtilityAPI, a utility data
service that automates interactions with utilities. UtilityAPI is an
early adopter of the U.S. Department of Energy DataGuard Voluntary
Code of Conduct, which outlines best practices for handling private
energy data. Daniel is on the board of the Green Button Alliance,
which manages the international standard around personal utility data
access, and is technical contributor to the Customer Data Access
Committee at the California Public Utilities Commission, which comes
up with the next generation of regulations around utility data access
in California. In his spare time, Daniel maintains several open source
privacy and security projects.

Data for Black Lives is a network of over 4,000
activists, organizers, scientists, and researchers
who are using data and technology to create
concrete and measurable change in the lives
of Black people. In November, 2017 we hosted
our inaugural conference at the MIT Media
Lab, convening over 400 people from all over
the country to examine the role that data and
technology have historically played in Black
communities and to chart out a bold blueprint
for the future.

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA): An Introduction by its Author and Leading Technologists
In this webinar, you will learn:
- What the key provisions of the law mean to you and your customers:
- “Right to Know”
- “Right to Say No”
- “Right to Have Data Kept Safe”
- How existing and forthcoming technologies make it possible to achieve the intent of the CCPA

Webinar Summary:
- In celebration of Data Privacy Day, “an international effort to empower individuals and businesses to respect privacy, safeguard data and enable trust,” please join us in a webinar where we will discuss the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), a landmark piece of legislation designed to increase consumer rights over personal information, establish that privacy is a human right, and set the minimum bar for national privacy regulations.
- This will be the first in a series of webinars to help educate consumers and businesses about the CCPA, how to get ready for it, and to understand that the CCPA will ultimately protect a fundamental human right, while still enabling and promoting innovation and the growth of small and medium-sized businesses and large enterprises.
- The CCPA is set to go into effect on January 1, 2020 and will help people regain ownership and control over their personal information while helping businesses establish trust by ensuring they safeguard people’s personal information.
- Alastair Mactaggart, the Californians for Consumer Privacy Chairman and a force behind the CCPA, along with Justin Antonipillai, the founder and CEO of WireWheel, and John Ackerly, the founder and CEO of Virtru, will discuss the key sections of the CCPA and how technologies, like those developed by WireWheel and Virtru, are making it possible for the CCPA to fully achieve its vision and goals.
Algorithmic systems are being adopted in a growing number of contexts. Fueled by big data, these systems filter, sort, score, recommend, personalize, and otherwise shape human experiences of socio-technical systems. Although these systems bring myriad benefits, they also contain inherent risks, such as codifying and entrenching biases; reducing accountability and hindering due process; and increasing the information assymmetry between data producers and data holders.
ACM FAT* is an annual conference dedicating to bringing together a diverse community to investigate and tackle issues in this emerging area. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- The theory and practice of fair and interpretable Machine Learning, Information Retrieval, NLP, and Computer Vision
- Measurement and auditing of deployed systems
- Users’ experience of algorithms, and design interventions to empower users
- The ethical, moral, social, and policy implications of big data and ubiquitous intelligent systems
ACM FAT* builds upon several years of successful workshops on the topics of fairness, accountability, transparency, ethics, and interpretability in machine learning, recommender systems, the web, and other technical disciplines.
Privacy Camp will take place on 29 January 2019 in Brussels, Belgium, just before the start of the CPDP conference. Privacy Camp brings together civil society, policy-makers and academia to discuss existing and looming problems for human rights in the digital environment.
Platforms, Politics, Participation
Privacy Camp 2019 will focus on digital platforms, their societal impact and political significance. Due to the rise of a few powerful companies such as Uber, Facebook, Amazon or Google, the term “platform” has moved beyond its initial computational meaning of technological architecture and has come to be understood as a socio-cultural phenomenon. Platforms are said to facilitate and shape human interactions, thus becoming important economic and political actors. While the companies offering platform services are increasingly the target of regulative action, they are also considered as allies of national and supranational institutions in enforcing policies voluntarily and gauging political interest and support. Digital platforms employ business models that rely on the collection of large amounts of data and the use of advanced algorithms, which raise concerns about their surveillance potential and their impact on political events. Increasingly rooted in the daily life of many individuals, platforms monetise social interactions and turn to questionable labor practices. Many sectors and social practices are being “platformised”, from public health to security, from news to entertainment services. Lately, some scholars have conceptualised this phenomenon as “platform capitalism” or “platform society”.
Privacy Camp 2019 will unpack the implications of “platformisation” for the socio-political fabric, human rights and policy making. In particular, how does the platform logic shape our experiences and the world we live in? How do institutional actors attempt to regulate platforms? In what ways do the affordances and constraints of platforms shape how people share and make use of their data?
Participate!
We welcome panel proposals relating to the broad theme of platforms. Besides classic panel proposals we are also seeking short contributions for our workshop “Situating Platforms: User Narratives”.
1. Panel proposals
We are particularly interested in panel proposals on the following topics: platform economy and labour; algorithmic bias; democratic participation and social networks.
Submission guidelines:
- Indicate a clear objective for your session, i.e. what would be a good outcome for you?
- Indicate other speakers that could participate in your panel (and let us know which speaker has already confirmed, at least in principle, to participate).
- Make it as participative as possible, think about how to include the audience and diverse actors. Note that the average panel length is 75 minutes.
- Send us a description of no more than 400 words.
2. “Situating Platforms: User Narratives” submissions
In an effort to discuss situated contexts with regard to platforms, we will have a session on lived practices and user narratives. Individuals, civil society groups or community associations are welcome to contribute in the format of a short talk or show & tell demonstration. Details and the online submission form are here:
Deadline
The deadline for all submissions is 18 November. After the deadline, we will review your submission and let you know by the end of November whether your proposal can be included in the programme. It is possible that we suggest merging panel proposals if they are very similar.
Please send your proposal via email to privacycamp(at)edri.org!
If you have questions, please contact Kirsten at kirsten.fiedler(at)edri(dot)org or Imge at imge.ozcan(at)vub(dot)be.
