January Privacy Lab - Privacy for Startups
Date and time
Description
Move fast and break things. Fail fast and fail often. Say what you will about the general wisdom of these familiar Silicon Valley startup mantras, but for data privacy and user trust, a one-time failure is often decisive. Once the proverbial cat is out of the bag, once personal user information has inadvertently escaped into the hands of data aggregators or the ether of the data black market, that information is essentially public forever.
But fear not! We’ve gathered an impressive lineup of experts for a round of ignite-style, lightning talks covering practical guidance, best practices for startups, and the newest resources and tools to get startups on the ground running.

As per Privacy Lab's standard format, lightening talks and Q&A will be from 6-7pm Pacific (live and recorded on Air Mozilla), followed by informal small group discussions and networking from 7-8pm. If you can't make it to the talks/Q&A, you are still welcome to join us for the small groups and networking or vice versa.
Privacy Lab is a meeting for people who are interested in digital privacy in the Bay Area, and is a follow-up to previous events held at Mozilla and other spaces for the past year. The goal of these events is to bring together privacy professionals and privacy community members at non-profits, for-profits, and NGOs alike to foster communication and collaboration.
