Watch below to learn from the experts and organisations at the cutting edge of technology and regulation, and maybe even catch a glimpse of where the tech sector goes next.
Agenda
Opening keynote: Privacy is a product issue
Privacy is an intimately human concern. It is often surfaced to users in several ways, and how data flows out of a product can be critical to its commercial viability. But instead of approaching privacy as a product concern, we let compliance lawyers run wild with it, with often detrimental effects. How can we fix this?
