Data Privacy Day Events – Various Dates

Data Privacy Day is coming up January 28th and we are raising awareness with a month-long series of free workshops. You can learn more about and register for our offerings via our Event Calendar, but here is a highlight event:

• Why Privacy Matters, Friday, January 27th 12-1:30pm – Register for Zoom link
  • In a world where human data is increasingly commodified and technological innovations abound, some people subscribe to or agree with the refrain “privacy is dead”. Yet the growing number of privacy-related laws and increasing societal awareness demonstrate that the fight to protect personal privacy is active. Join the Privacy Office as we launch an initiative to modernize privacy at UW. Topics include:
    • The social and political events that shaped the contemporary privacy landscape.
    • The types of harm that can impact people through the misuse or loss of their data.
    • Examples of incidents and privacy-related issues at higher education institutions.
  • Who should attend:
    • UW personnel that work with personal data.
    • UW students, staff, and faculty with an interest in the intersection of privacy, digital technology, and higher education.
