Sweeping Privacy Developments
Held the Spotlight at P.S.R. 2022

IAPP Privacy. Security. Risk. focuses on the intersection of privacy and technology. The 2022 event took place in the wake of two major developments in privacy that influenced the program: the Biden Administration’s order to implement the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, and the U.S. Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision.

Dobbs and Artificial Intelligence
Expert speakers analyzed both issues for the P.S.R. crowd. The Dobbs decision was discussed by a keynote panel of Melanie Fontes Rainer, director, U.S. Health and Human Services Office of Civil Rights; Jill Morrison, executive director, Women's Law & Public Policy Fellowship and Leadership & Advocacy for Women in Africa programs; Alexandra Reeve Givens, president and CEO, Center for Democracy & Technology; and moderator Jia Tolentino, New Yorker staff writer. They stressed the need for swift action to curb the privacy harms that quickly came to light when Dobbs was released. They were joined on the keynote stage at Austin City Limits Live at the Moody Theater by former Google [X] chief business officer Mo Gawdat, who spoke about humanity’s evolving relationship with artificial intelligence.

U.S. Policy on Spotlight Stage
On the new Spotlight Stage, IAPP Vice President and Chief Knowledge Officer Caitlin Fennessy moderated a discussion on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework with U.S. Department of Commerce’s International Trade Administration Director Alex Greenstein and American University Washington College of Law Senior Project Director Alexander Joel. They examined to discuss the national security and commercial implications of the executive order. Fennessy also joined Federal Trade Commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter for a conversation on FTC rulemaking for commercial surveillance and data security.

The speaking programs accompanied a deep lineup of breakout sessions on topics including eliminating bias in artificial intelligence; selling privacy as an asset; working with location data; and applying the NIST framework.

Time to connect
When not dissecting serious issues, the P.S.R. crowd connected at networking events, in topical discussions, and for at big events like the Party in Austin. See the social media highlights and gallery, below, for more impressions and plan to join us next year in San Diego, Oct. 3-6, for P.S.R. 2023.

2022 Session Highlights

Data Privacy and Data Security. Can You Really Have Both?

A trio of speakers discussed achieving data security without sacrificing privacy by using privacy-enhancing technologies such as encryption and browser isolation. The panelists addressed issues such as mitigating privacy risks when conducting cybersecurity investigations, authenticating users, and best practices in data management.

New and Emerging Location Data Rules: Get Ready for 2023 and Beyond

The sensitivity and risks of persistent location tracking has led to platform changes, legal challenges, media concerns, and a deluge of emerging privacy regulations in the United States. This panel explored how new laws in California, Virginia, and Colorado, scrutiny from the Federal Trade Commission, and other emerging proposals affect commercial uses of location data.

How to Sell Privacy Compliance As an Asset, Not a Cost Center

Good privacy is good for business, good for building brand equity and reputation, which in turn generates revenue and protects valuation. The panel of CPOs and compliance chiefs offered insights on how privacy investments boost revenue, protect revenue and define your brand.
