FPF’s monthly Privacy Landscape call is scheduled for NEXT TUESDAY, May 21, 2019 from 4pm-5pm ET.
FPF staff and Tanya Forsheit (Chair of Frankfurt Kurnit’s Privacy & Data Security Group) will provide an update and opportunity to discuss the status of proposed amendments to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
We are also fortunate to be joined by Ashwin Machanavajjhala, (Associate Professor, Director of Graduate Studies, Department of Computer Science, Duke University). Prof. Machanavajjhala will describe and discuss his work regarding Ektelo: an open source framework for defining differentially private computation.
Please note: the presentation will be useful to privacy and compliance experts, but will be of particular interest to technical members of your organization’s team. Please invite interested technologists from your organization to join the call!

Each month, the Future of Privacy Forum hosts a call with thought leaders to discuss topical issues related to privacy and responsible data use.
We will provide an update and opportunity to discuss recent privacy updates to the Android and iOS platforms and app stores.
We will also discuss recent legislative developments regarding biometric technologies. Lawmakers are increasingly passing or considering measures that would limit use of facial recognition or other biometric tech by government agencies and/or companies. These issues are top of mind for legislators at the federal, state, and municipal levels.

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) goes into effect on January 1, 2020. While the specifics are still being hammered out, the CCPA will inevitably change how businesses around the world operate. Join data privacy experts, Mark Kahn (General Counsel, Segment), Melissa Maalouf (Shareholder, ZwillGen), and Jeremy Greenberg (Policy Fellow, Future of Privacy Forum), for a fireside chat on the CCPA and the future of consumer data privacy.
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
- What the CCPA means for your industry
- Actionable advice for how you can prepare for the CCPA
- Changes we expect to see before the CCPA even goes into effect
- Regulatory trends impacting data privacy at the state and federal level
The aim of the symposium is to foster interaction among diverse communities of research and practice using contextual integrity to reason about privacy, and to design and evaluate, craft regulation, and generate formal logics for privacy.
As the goal of the workshop is to foster discussion around works in progress, the workshop will not publish formal proceedings (so as to not preclude the publication of subsequent versions of those works, improved by workshop feedback). However, with authors’ permission, we will post accepted submissions on the website.
In addition to other benefits, the California Consumer Privacy Act enhances privacy for individuals when data uses cannot be adequately served using consent alone. The CCPA provides incentives for companies to implement safeguards that reduce data privacy risk from even occurring in the first place. Under the CCPA, this can be accomplished by leveraging new technically enforced, risk-based deidentification controls.
Benefits of Non-Consent Processing (via DeIdentification)
Processing data under the CCPA’s deidentification requirements brings many benefits. They include:
For individuals and society:
+Consumer benefits from data processing that is not well supported via opt-in/consent requirements because of the complexity of processing and difficulty of explanation.
+Societal benefits from having more representative, non-discriminatory data to train accurate and representative artificial intelligence and machine learning models.
For data controllers and processors:
+Greater flexibility in complying with data subject requests to delete data.
+Enhanced ability to lawfully share and combine data with third parties.
+Requirements for Non-Consent Processing (via DeIdentification)
Processing protected personal information via CCPA deidentification exceptions requires that proper technical and organizational safeguards are in place.
Those requirements include:
+CCPA increases deidentification standards to a new “2020 De-ID Standard”
+The 2020 De-ID Standard under the CCPA now requires:
+Technical safeguards to prevent recipients of protected information from inadmissibly re-identifying individuals when used on a distributed, multi-party basis.
+Greater protection than otherwise required under laws that were enacted almost a quarter century ago, like the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.
+Context-aware, risk-based management of re-identification risk.
+Protection against re-identification risk from data in the hands of third parties.

Processing data under the EU General Data Protection Regulation’s legitimate-interest legal basis can bring many benefits, but to do so properly, the right technical and organizational safeguards must be in place. What are those benefits?
They include:
+Greater flexibility in complying with data subjects’ right to be forgotten requests.
+Flexibility in complying with claims to restrict the processing of personal data.
+Exemption from data subjects’ right of portability.
+The ability to claim that technical and organizational measures are in place in the context of automated decision making.
+All of which bring significant value to the organization. If that’s the case, then what are the technical and organizational safeguards that must be implemented to realize these benefits, and how can your organization put them in place? Join us for this privacy education web conference to learn about this and more.
You’ll hear from experts in the field about:
+How merely claiming to have a legitimate interest in the results of processing is not enough without having accountability controls to support data protection by design and default and transparency obligations.
+What types of technical/organizational safeguards help to satisfy the “Balancing on Interest” test to enable legitimate interest as a legal basis for processing under the GDPR.
+The benefits that greater/lawful data use bring when legitimate interest safeguards are implemented properly.
+The risks that exist when claiming legitimate interest as a legal basis without having the proper safeguards in place.

Privacy Lab is a meetup for privacy minded people to foster communication and collaboration. It was founded in January 2015.
The goal of these events is to bring together people who work in the privacy space from different perspectives – people who may not regularly talk to each other – policy people, techies, activists, and academics at big companies, startups, universities, libraries, NGO’s, foundations, civil society and more – that’s one of the benefits of attending. You’ll have an hour on the topic of the evening followed by an hour to talk to each other.
If you enjoy talking privacy – so much so that it’s related to what you do for a living or how you volunteer your time – this is the event for you.
By attending, you’ll be able to hear about what other people and organizations are working on, share what you’re doing and look for new opportunities to collaborate and get involved.
Recent years have been transformational for privacy. In the wake of GDPR, governments around the country, and around the world, are enacting privacy laws and regulations.
