Don’t miss this unique opportunity to hear from one of the leading privacy experts in the world.
Join Dr. Ann Cavoukian, Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario, Canada as she shares her practical approach to building privacy into the engineering process.
While most engineers feel they have a strong sense of privacy in the implementation, many may not have a strong sense of privacy design. They may not ask, "Where does this data go and when does it go away? How can a user get rid of this? And when?" Yet, the design phase will have the most impact and answering these questions early can save money and time.
Dr. Cavoukian seeks to eliminate the zero sum mindset – to show how you don’t have to give up privacy to have innovation. The complaint she hears from engineers is that no one has taken the time to break it down into the component pieces and give examples of innovative solutions. Engineers tell her, “If we were given these instructions at the time we started writing the code, it would be a better solution.”
On Friday, November 15th, from 1-2pm in MTV 10 Fwd, Dr. Cavoukian will present:
Privacy by Design – Leading the Way to Preserving Our Freedoms, Minimizing Surveillance
Session Outline (followed by Q&A):
Privacy = Control Change the Paradigm to Positive-Sum Privacy by Design: The Gold Standard Do Not Track Engaging Engineers and Innovators Privacy-Protective Surveillance
Please mark your calendars now and don’t miss this important opportunity to change the paradigm for privacy and innovation.
