[nettime-lat] Privacy Lecture Series - Ann Cavoukian, Feb. 11, 2002

[Ana Viseu <ana.viseu@utoronto.ca>]

[I am very pleased to announce that our next speaker will be Ann Cavoukian, 
Ontario's Privacy Commissioner and one Canada's most widely respected 
privacy advocates. Over the years Ann has argued for a privacy policy that 
is based on the balance between privacy and other rights, rather than on 
absolutism, and that favours working solutions rather than unattainable 
goals.  The theme of the lecture is "Building Privacy Into Technolog". The 
lecture will be held from 4pm to 5,30pm. I am sure this will be an 
interesting, informative and thought provoking lecture. Best. Ana]

Abstract

In her talk Ann Cavoukian, Ontario's Privacy Commissioner, will discuss the 
tragic events of September 11 and how that has affected many people's 
perspective on privacy. She will discuss the need for balance between the 
demands of public safety and need to respect the privacy of rights of 
citizens. The talk will also discuss the implications of recent 
anti-terrorism legislation in Canada, the U.S. and elsewhere. The 
presentation will define "privacy", discuss the basis of privacy, which is 
fair information practices, and illustrate where these practices have been 
codified into law around the world. The presentation will then discuss the 
hype and reality of e-commerce and examine reasons why it has fallen short 
of expectations. The last section of the presentation examines the role 
that technology can play in protecting privacy.
