Recap: ANZ Summit 2019

The IAPP ANZ Summit delivered education and insights about privacy and data protection issues in Australia, New Zealand and beyond.

More than 300 privacy professionals convened at the IAPP ANZ Summit 2019 in Sydney, 29-30 October. Speakers and attendees explored the intersection of global data privacy with local and regional trends and regulations.

John Edwards, the New Zealand Privacy Commissioner delivered a passionate keynote speech titled “Addressing the Power Asymmetry of the Big Tech Companies” that some called the best privacy speech of the year. He described the diffused power of individuals and regulators and contrasted that with the consolidated power of just a few large tech companies. He also spoke about how digital platforms are undermining basic human rights like freedom of thought and association, based on our data — which is “obtained under mostly false pretences, deceptive conduct or half-true declarations of purpose buried in a thesis-length legalese privacy policy.”

Woodrow Hartzog, professor at Northeastern University School of Law and the College of Computer and Information Science, and author of Privacy’s Blueprint: The Battle to Control the Design of New Technologies gave a fascinating keynote speech. In it, he made the case that there’s more to a holistic privacy plan than just data protection.

Breakout session topics offered practical advice, best practices and spanned regulatory and corporate-level concerns, including how to make privacy your competitive edge. The GDPR session that offered insights on enforcement and compliance for non-EU Agencies was a big hit.

ANZ Summit attendees made valuable new connections throughout the IAPP community and beyond. We’re already looking forward to next year’s ANZ Summit!

Making Good Health Data Uses Real: Practical Accountability by Design
