The monthly NADPO lunchtime webinars resume today at 12:30 to 14:00, with talks by Robin Hopkins of 11KBW on ‘Insights from recent High Court judgments’ and Ashley Winton of Mishcon de Reya LLP on ‘DPIA => AIIA, a look at the wider laws that will apply to AI’.

NADPO members should have the joining details in their inboxes, but if anyone would like a free guest place, to test the NADPO waters, as it were, do either message me here, or on chair at NADPO dot co dot uk, as we have a couple available.

Traffic to start moving next month…

A short piece by me on the Mishcon de Reya website:

A piece in The Times by me and my Mishcon de Reya colleague Emma Woollcott, on the recent Hurbain v Belgium “right to be forgotten” case:

I’ve written on the Mishcon de Reya website about the Information Commissioner’s Office’s use of reprimands for data protection infringements, despite the absence of any published guidance or procedure. Coupled with the lack of any way of appealing a reprimand, does this risk putting recipients in an unfair position?

NADPO’s next webinar is tomorrow, June 27, featuring 

Lucas Amin, Open Democracy – “the NHS Federated Data Platform – risks and opportunities”
Dr Luc Rocher, Oxford Internet Institute – “The hazards of proxy data sets“

Members should already have (just) been sent the link, and it is also available in the members’ zone on our website. As usual, there are one or two free spaces if anyone wants to test the waters. Contact me at chair at nadpo dot co dot uk if you’d like to request one.

That is what they are warning. Let’s see what transpires. New post by me on the Mishcon de Reya website:

NADPO’s May lunchtime webinar is at 13:30 on 23 May. Speakers and topics are

Prof Mark Elliott, UKAN – “Anonymisation: What is it? And how do I do it?”
Karen Levy, Cornell University – “Robotruckers: The double threat of AI for low-waged work”

As usual, there are a couple of free spaces for anyone who wants to test the NADPO waters. Email me on chair at nadpo dot co dot uk if you’re interested.

I’ve written a piece for the Mishcon de Reya website on the return to Parliament this week of the data protection reform legislation

NADPO’s online webinars continue on Tuesday 28th February 2023 at 1.30pm, with the following speakers and topics.

Professor Ross Anderson – ‘Will the online harms bill protect children? Is there a case for breaking encryption?’

Justin Sherman, Duke University Sanford School of Public Policy: “Your Data’s for Sale: The Data Brokerage Ecosystem and Risks to Privacy and Security”

The Zoom link will be sent to NADPO members the day before the webinar.

If you are not a member but would like to “test the water” please contact me at chair at nadpo dot co dot uk – I can normally be persuaded to offer a free place!

The next NADPO monthly webinar will be on 24 January, with two excellent speakers and topics

Dr Monica Horten, Open Rights Group – “Everything in moderation: social media surveillance and the Online Safety Bill”

Hassan Khan, Jason Ceci and Jonah Stegman: “No Privacy in the Electronics Repair Industry”.

As always, attendance is free for members, who should note that the start time is 13:30 rather than the usual 12:30.

We generally also have a couple of tickets available for anyone who is thinking of joining NADPO and wants to test the waters, so to speak. Contact me at chair at nadpo dot co dot uk if you’re interested.
