Next Tuesday sees Europes most influential data privacy conference - A fine Balance in the digital society is at Westminster.
Todays world is powered by complex digital systems that create privacy challenges alongside great opportunities.
• It is estimated that humankind created 150 exabytes (billion gigabytes) of data in 2005. In 2010 we will create 1,200 exabytes. Despite an abundance of tools to capture, process and share this information, data is continuing to multiply at such a rate we need new ways to manage who can see, access and use it.
• There is no current regulatory model for a digital society. We need new rules based on what we already know about privacy, technology and data.
• We need to educate, consult and communicate with the people whose information is on the frontline.
A Fine Balance 2010 features high-profile speakers including from the Information Commissioner's Office, the legal profession, technology companies and civil liberties experts who will debate the latest thinking on how to maintain the integrity of data in a digital world.
Delegates will have the opportunity to ask questions, vote and contribute to a report being developed to influence politicians and decision makers.
If you are transacting over the web this will bring you up to speed with the new legislation around privacy, the law has got tighter.
