If you were at the 2015 Data Protection Commissioner’s conference in Amsterdam or at the Computers, Privacy & Data Protection annual conference a few months later, you may have had an opportunity to check out the IAPP’s collection of George Orwell’s novel “Nineteen Eighty-Four.” Now, it’s on display in the U.S. — in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, near IAPP headquarters, in fact — as part of The Art of Watching: Privacy and the Public Eye.
