Abstract:
In this talk Jaap-Henk Hoepman will discuss some of the myths
surrounding privacy (like “I have nothing to hide” and “We are not
collecting personal data” or “You have zero privacy anyway. Get over
it.”). All to show that technological developments have had a tremendous
impact on our privacy, but also can be used to protect our privacy. He
will talk about the legal protection of privacy through the General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR), and discuss how relying on purely legal
measures is not enough. The systems themselves should be designed in a
privacy friendly manner, through privacy by design. He will explain the
privacy by design philosophy, and make it concrete by describing eight
privacy design strategies.
