Concern is mounting regarding the impact of proposed “lawful access” legislation in Canada. Media coverage has greatly increased, with this issue becoming a hot topic of discussion by all stakeholders, from the legal community to telecom providers. The Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario has been instrumental in bringing attention to this upcoming legislation — which in our view, would represent a system of “surveillance by design.”

The anticipated re-introduction of a trio of federal bills (Bills C-50, C-51, C-52) will provide police with much greater ability to access and track information, via the communications technologies that we use every day, such as the Internet, smart phones, and other mobile devices, including without a warrant or oversight. Taken together, the three pieces of legislation will diminish the privacy rights of Ontarians and indeed of all Canadians.

We have an opportunity to raise awareness on this very important issue, with the goal of impacting the legislation as it is re-introduced. Please join us as we bring together highly respected thought leaders to discuss the implications of these federal bills.

The event is being held to celebrate International Privacy Day, marking 31 years since the first binding international convention of privacy came into force.

• Alan Borovoy, General Counsel, Emeritus, Canadian Civil Liberties Association

Privacy by ReDesign: A Transformative Process (Mexico City, November 2011)

A Pre-Conference Seminar of the 33rd International Conference of Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners

November 1, 2011

7:30 – 8:00 a.m. Registration
8:00 – 10:00 a.m. Session

Hilton Mexico City Reforma
Mexico City, Mexico

Tackling privacy issues upfront and embedding privacy protections directly into new technology, process and architecture – the Privacy by Design approach – is optimal from both a privacy and business perspective. Increasingly, however, privacy must be considered within the context of an organization’s existing infrastructure. Does that limit the relevance of PbD? No, not in the least.

Enter Privacy by ReDesign, a new approach to applying the 7 Foundational Principles of Privacy by Design to existing systems. Clearly, since these are pervasive and already operational throughout organizations, the principles cannot be embedded, from the outset. Instead, the objective must be to Rethink, ReDesign and Revive these systems in a manner approaching the PbD end state.

Hear noted industry and privacy leaders describe their applications of PbRD. Learn strategies that you can take back to your company. Rethink, ReDesign, Revive.

Speakers:

• Carlos Chalico and Christine Ravago of Ernst & Young LLP – “Privacy by ReDesign: A Transformative Process – Embedding Privacy into Existing Systems.”
• Anneke Covell of American Express – “Technology: Corporate Utility or Innovative Path to Privacy?”
• Michael Ho of Bering Media – “Rethink, ReDesign & Revive IP Geolocation – A PbD-based Approach.”
• Anita Fineberg of Anita Fineberg & Associates and Pat Jeselon of Pat Jeselon and Associates Consulting – “A Guide for Completing a PbD PIA: From Principles to Practice.”
• Noah Lang of Reputation.com – “Pioneering the Privacy Economy: Privacy by Design in the Era of Big Data.”
