Whether it’s Facebook's data management practices with respect to third-party apps, or data analytics companies' roles in using information for electioneering, the matter has opened the world's eyes to a new facet of democracy based on the leveraging of personal information. Commencing with the leading investigation of the matter by the UK ICO into the Brexit affair, Facebook-Cambridge Analytica has had far-reaching and cascading impacts for numerous jurisdictions around the globe. The session will showcase the work of the UK ICO on this matter, along with underscoring the importance of international cooperation to confront international privacy crises. To this end, the session will also discuss how joint-investigations by the Canadian Privacy Commissioner and British Columbia Information and Privacy Commissioner confronted the matter from a unique, but complementary Canadian perspective.What you’ll take away:Best practices for working with foreign jurisdictions and for information sharingHow the impacts of data misuse go beyond privacy into the foundations of democracyA demonstration of the need for proactive monitoring and compliance by data controllers
