This workshop is targeted at SME employees interested in understanding the legal position on data privacy.

Guest speakers: Jim Killock, Executive Director, Open Rights Group.

In today’s world, issues of Data Protection Security and Privacy are constantly in the headlines and there is tension between the individual's right to privacy and the national security policy. With new legislation coming in on cookies, state collection of internet traffic data, and data projection obligations of private enterprises, Jim Killock digs in to the details, debunks the myths and asks whether the law can save us from corporate and government snooping?
