WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
The focus of this privacy seminar is on the issues of security and technology and how they impact or enhance current privacy issues. These issues are directly related to the federal Privacy Act and accentuate the need for change by Parliament to take into account the major changes technologies and security are having on our privacy. Privacy laws are the walls that protect individuals against a possibly intrusive society. These laws have met, to some degree, the expectations of protection from outside sources using one’s personal information. In our growing surveillance society the walls between the private and the public are beginning to crumble. More and more organizations, governments included, now know more about individuals than ever before in history.
Privacy has over the past twenty years and more become a major issue internationally. The rise of intrusive technologies, the capacity of databases to store gigabytes of information and the Internet has resulted in a surge in awareness about the importance of privacy. Privacy and technology are linked in the public's mind. It must be recognized, however, that current and emerging information technologies are vital to how public organizations will have to operate in this time of evolutionary change and the continuous emergence of new technologies. Information technology is neutral in its capabilities. It can be used to invade personal privacy or to protect it. The key is the intent of the organizations in applying it. There is a tremendous expectation on the part of the citizenry that governments and public agencies will act in ways that both enhance programs and services and better protect personal privacy. Thus, it is fair to say that technologies normally follow program directions and it is public policy, as much as technology that needs to be influenced from a privacy protection perspective. However, it is important to understand the technology and how it can influence privacy protection for both good and ill. It is essential to deal with the issues around privacy that include the security of information and data online and offline. A central privacy issue is the importance of technologies that enhance online privacy and ensure that individuals’ personal privacy is protected.
Knowledgeable experts in the areas of privacy, technology and security in government, the academic world and the private sector, will discuss and debate these issues that are driving current privacy concerns.
