Event Synopsis:

As companies struggle to cope with data privacy law complexities, the Internet of Things (IoT) will be making data privacy compliance even more difficult. These rapidly proliferating connected devices collect, transmit, store and potentially share vast amounts of data, some of it highly personal. IoT devices present new risks to security and privacy, and pose challenges to the application of traditional privacy principles. For instance, a recent Ofcom-commissioned study revealed that there is an unbridgeable disparity between the need to gain consumers' informed personal-data-processing consent and the fact that a number of consumers do not read privacy policies over the Internet. Effective disclosures are even more difficult on IoT devices, which may lack any interface for the consumer. Further, IoT devices present unique security challenges and are vulnerable to a variety of serious security risks, affecting both personal data and, in some cases, the physical safety of consumers.

In a two-hour, LIVE Webcast, a panel of key thought leaders and professionals assembled by The Knowledge Group will provide an in-depth discussion of various data privacy compliance issues in the Internet-of-Things backdrop. Speakers will also offer best Data Privacy Compliance practices and suggest ways to avoid future
litigation.

Key topics include:

• Internet of Things (IoT) – Security Risks
• Data Privacy Compliance Difficulties
• Existing Data Privacy Law Shortfalls
• Regulatory Developments and Forecasts
• Best IoT Application Practices
• Mobile Privacy Disclosures and Protection of Personal Information
• Privacy by Design
• Effective Disclosures/Privacy Policies
• Third Parties and Security Risks
