In the digital age how private are your parts? This is the provocative question addressed by privacy expert Cindy Oxenbury at our October 15th speaker’s event.
Privacy issues are in the news every day, from police using privacy legislation to avoid releasing information and doctors using personal mobile devices to capture images of anaesthetized patients to individuals snooping into politicians’ hospital files.
Cindy will take a closer look at some of today’s biggest stories and challenges when it comes to protecting our personal information and what it means to personal privacy when your car can share your personal profile with your fridge.
