Practical De-Identification

De-identification is a critical element in many privacy programs, and is an important part in every privacy practitioner's toolbox. However, the complex technical, legal, and policy landscape around de-identification can be difficult to navigate. Policy debates over the definition of personally identifying information continue, even as new technologies arise to alternately challenge and strengthen de-identification efforts. Meanwhile, privacy professionals need to take reasonable steps to ensure the data sets they oversee can be both useful and protected.

The Future of Privacy Forum and Ernst & Young invite you to join us for a deep dive with leading de-identification experts into the technologies, laws, and controls that shape today's de-identification best practices.

Our expert panelists will discuss the current regulatory framework, identifiers and pseudonymous data, the role of controls, and sector-specific applications. The full agenda is listed below:
