15.15 Coffee break
15.30 US And Transatlantic Debates: A New Direction For US Online Consumer Rights
co-organised by the Computers, Freedom and Privacy (CFP) and CPDP
hosted by Marc Rotenberg (EPIC) & Kristina Irion (Central European University)
panel Susan Grant, Consumer Federation of America (US), Peter Swire, Moritz College of Law of Ohio State University (US), Julie Brill, Commissioner FTC (US), John B. Morris, Jr., Associate Administrator (Acting) and Director of Internet Policy (US), Sophie Narbonne, CNIL (FR)
This panel on consumer protection will review the post release of the Obama Administration’s white paper “Consumer Data Privacy in a Networked World: A Framework for Protecting Privacy and Promoting Innovation in the Global Digital Economy.” The panel will explore the consequences for consumers when the EU and US fail to reach an agreement on how to protect consumers online. President Obama’s administration is working to create a new mechanism that involves a multi-stakeholder process managed by the Department of Commerce. The Department of Commerce first multi-stakeholders process, now underway, addresses mobile application transparency. The force of regulation for the work done by the Department of Commerce would come from the Federal Trade Commission.
Key points to be discussed:
- The US work to create new online consumer privacy protections through expansion of the current sector based approach.
- Is there an unresolvable US and EU mismatch on how privacy is defined in a digital global economy?
- How can we measure whether the EU legislative effort and the Obama Administration effort will resolve conflicts in how online consumer privacy will be seamlessly protected?

16.45 US and Transatlantic Debates: Government and law enforcement use of data (till 18.00)
co-organised by the Computers, Freedom and Privacy (CFP) and CPDP
hosted by Barry Steinhardt, Friends of Privacy (US) and Simon Davies, the Privacy Surgeon (UK)
panel Anna Fielder, Privacy International (UK), Bruno Gencarelli, European Commission (EU), Stewart Robinson, US Mission to the EU (US) [tbc], Jay Stanley, American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) (US)
The common understanding is that the US and Europe have very different privacy regimes. But are they really so different on law enforcement and National Security matters? Or is there an emerging ‘transatlantic approach’ that some argue values the interests of the State over personal liberty and jeopardizes fundamental European principles?
A transatlantic panel of government and NGO representatives will discuss:
- Whether the draft European Protection Directive tilts too far to law enforcement and the National Security institutions and how does the US view the directive.
- Whether our privacy can be protected by the overarching agreement on the exchange of personal data that the EU and the US are negotiating;
- How freely does our personal data flow across the Atlantic and how can European personal data be protected when it is in the hands of American law enforcement and national security agencies?

18.00 Simon Davies (Privacy Surgeon) - Introduction to Privacy Quest
18.15 Cocktail offered by the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP) (till 20.00)
CPDP2013 Panels at Petite Halle
10.15 Coffee break
10.30 Data Protection Accountability - Who creates the account?
co-organised by the Human Technology Lab at Technical University Berlin, the EU FP7 project SIAM and CPDP
hosted by Daniel Guagnin (TU Berlin) and Carla Ilten (University of Illinois at Chicago)
panel Tobias Bräutigam, Nokia (FI), Denis Butin, INRIA (FR), Peter Schaar, Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (DE), Brendan Van Alsenoy, KU Leuven (BE)
The principle of accountability in the context of data protection formulates a way to bridge the gap between theory and practice of data protection. Binding Corporate Rules and Impact Assessments enhance the commitment to and demonstrability of effective data protection measures, but in the end the open question remains: What is and who creates the account that demonstrates effective data protection and makes it visible for the user?
A number of questions emerge from this perspective. For example, how the technology-oriented process can be made transparent and reflexive. How can diverging interests be negotiated along the path of development? How can “Privacy by Design” be advanced to “render an account” as well? How can data protection accountability be implemented within organisations and made visible to the data subjects?
11.45 The Rise and Rise of the Privacy Profession: CPOs Meet DPOs
co-organised by IAPP and CPDP
hosted by Rita Di Antonio (IAPP) & Omer Tene (College of Management School of Law, Rishon Le Zion)
panel Kasey Chapelle, Vodafone (UK), Christoph Klug, CEDPO (DE), Sophie Louveaux, EDPS (EU), Katherine Tassi, Facebook (IE)
The privacy profession has grown from the ground up, not mandated by legislation but rather a response to fundamental business needs.
Personal data have become an increasingly valuable asset class, fueling the new economy and presenting businesses with unprecedented opportunities and challenges.
Privacy and data protection are now board level issues. Management has realised that privacy is distinct from data security and must be dealt with by dedicated individuals who have strategic, policy, compliance and technical competence.
The draft EU Data Protection Regulation is set to mandate the appointment of a data protection officer for businesses that do not yet have one.
This panel will feature some of the leaders of the privacy profession from both sides of the Atlantic. They will discuss the past, present and future of the privacy profession and draw lessons from the experience of U.S. CPOs for EU DPOs, and vice versa.
13.00 Lunch
14.00 Privacy Impact Assessments: Beyond Data Protection
co-organised by EU FP7 projects SAPIENT & PRESCIENT and CPDP
hosted by Raphaël Gellert (VUB) & Roger Clarke (Xamax Consultancy)
panel Bojana Bellamy, Accenture (UK), John Morijn, Ministry of interior (NL), Kjetil Rommetveit, University of Bergen (NO), David Wright, Trilateral Research and Consulting (UK)
Privacy Impact Assessments are definitely high on the EU agenda. After the endorsement of the RFID PIA Framework by the Article Working Party Group and the smart grids PIA Framework, Art. 33 of the EC Proposed General Data Protection Regulation enshrines the tool in the EU data protection legal framework.
This panel envisages tackling the following PIA-related challenges:
- Integration: Can PIA address other fundamental rights than privacy and data protection (the right not to be discriminated against for instance)? Can these tools also take additional non-legal issues into consideration such as ethical or surveillance issues? Is it possible to integrate such diverse considerations within one single instrument?
- Implementation: If integrated PIAs are the way forward, what level of complexity can firms of public bodies handle concerning impact assessment? How many impact assessments should be conducted in the course of the preparation of a project? How much time is required to carry out an integrated PIA?
- Standardisation: Is the current diversity of PIA methodologies something to be welcomed or, on the contrary, a threat to unified, standardised and integrated PIAs ? If the EU adopts a policy or standards on PIA, what are the key elements in an “integrated” PIA?
15.15 Coffee break
15.30 Binding Corporate Rules
hosted by Lokke Moerel (De Brauw) & Tanguy Van Overstraeten (Linklaters)
panel Liesbeth Kamp, D.E Master Blenders (NL), Terry McQuay, Nymity (CA), Daniel Pradelles, HP (BE), Florence Raynal (CNIL) (FR)
This panel will focus particularly on the following issues:
- How are BCRs regulated under the Proposed Regulation? What are potential improvements?
- The latest on BCRs for Processor and Business Corporate Rules
- Recognition of BCR outside the EEA
- How do BCRs compare to BCPR under the APEC Privacy rules?
- Which companies have opted for BCRs and why?
- Practical experiences of companies when introducing BCRs
- Discussion of research study on BCRs by HiiL and Nymity showing that companies having introduced BCR have doubled their material data protection compliance
CPDP2013 Health, Privacy and Data Protection Sessions (till 20.15)
16.45 Health Data Processing and the Proposed Regulation on Data Protection (till 18.15)
co-organized by KNMG and CPDP
hosted by Petra Wilson (Cisco) and Ann-Katrin Habbig (Vrije Universiteit Brussel)
panel Per Johansson, EDPS (EU), Frank Robben, Crossroads Bank for Social Security, Belgian eHealth-platform (BE), Annabel Seebohm, Deutsche Bundsärztekammer (DE), Kirsten van Gossum, attorney at the Brussels bar (BE)
Since the publication of the Proposal for a General Data Protection Regulation in January 2012, there have been many different opinions on the effectiveness of this new tool and on its impact. One year later we want to draw some first conclusions and discuss the influence that the proposed regulation could have on health data processing.
Whereas a category for sensitive data will remain to exist and also provides for derogations for health data in the future, there are many changes which will impact the processing of health data. There is a concern about the definition of consent, the possible existence of a “significant imbalance” in the doctor-patient relationship, an administrative burden for small clinics as a result of Impact Assessments and data protection officers. New rights, like the right to be forgotten, might change the way how health data have to be handled in future. Currently, many open questions remain and problems like the relationship between the proposed right to be forgotten and the right to have one’s health data erased have to be clarified.
Therefore, it will be discussed which changes can be expected for health data processing and for healthcare professionals if the proposal will be implemented, which advantages and disadvantages this will bring for the privacy of patients and if the proposed regulation responds to the changing needs in health data processing.

18.45 Medical Confidentiality and Privacy (till 20.15)
co-organised by KNMG and CPDP
hosted by Lode Wigersma (Royal Dutch Medical Association) and Tom Goffin (Ordomedic)
panel Bernard Maillet, CPME (BE), Constantin Graf von Rex, Institute for Legal Informatics, Leibniz University of Hanover (DE), Solvita Olsena, Center for Bioethics and Biosafety, University of Latvia (LV), Heriette Roscam Abbing, European Association of Health Law (NL)
Medical confidentiality is one of the essential features of the different professions in healthcare and crucial for the protection of a patient’s privacy and trust in healthcare. Nowadays, however, healthcare professionals are often facing conflicts of medical confidentiality and recent developments in society.
Knowledge of possible child abuse brings doctors in a conflict of interests: protecting confidentiality or preventing physical damage to patients or others? Violent events like rampages in schools, shopping centres and most prominently in the Norwegian capital Oslo and at the island Utoya confront healthcare professionals with the demand to breach medical confidentiality when public safety could be at stake.
Furthermore, technological innovations in healthcare might also challenge medical confidentiality. Never before, it has been so easy to exchange patient data between different actors in healthcare, by means of electronic networks or even by social media. It is therefore important to elaborate to what extent these new ways of data exchange threatens patients’ privacy and conflicts with the traditional understanding of medical confidentiality.

CPDP2013 Workshops at La Cave
10.15 Coffee break
10.30 Can policymakers afford to ignore global finance as part of Data Protection reform?
hosted by Rita Balogh (APCO Worldwide) & Monique Altheim (The Law Office of Monique Altheim)
panel Lindsay Cox, Barclaycard (US), Paul Guertler, Targo Bank (US), Andy Roth, SNR Dention (US), Cliff Stearns, APCO Worldwide, former Congressman (US), Harry Valetk, MetLife’s Global Privacy Office (US)
Privacy officers from global leaders in insurance, banking, payments and consumer credit are joined by one of the key architects of the US approach to data protection for a candid exchange on the patchwork of requirements they face both in the US and in Europe.
- Does a practical assessment of the legislation, particularly in Europe, indicate that consistency in compliance has ceased to be a realistic hope?
- Are the risks for business and legislators now overwhelming, from regulatory arbitrage to a loss of confidence amongst consumers and voters?
- What lessons can be learnt from existing data breach notification regimes so Europe can avoid conflicting legal requirements and overburdening both financial institutions and responsible authorities?
- How can data protection officers ensure legal compliance without hampering business operations?
Drawing on the insights of a sector holding some of the most sensitive and certainly valuable data around the discussion of this complex situation will have lessons for everybody.
11.45 From ‘Solidarity’ To The Surveillance Society. Privacy Protection Dilemmas In Poland
hosted by Wojciech R. Wiewiórowski, Inspector General for the Protection of Personal Data (GIODO) & Dariusz Kloza, Vrije Universiteit Brussel-LSTS (BE)
panel Andrzej Dziech and Jan Derkacz, AGH University of Science and Technology, INDECT Project (PL), Arwid Mednis, Wierzbowski Eversheds (PL), Katarzyna Szymielewicz, Panoptykon Foundation (PL)
Every year, CPDP puts under the spotlight an EU Member State. This year it is Poland’s turn as 2012 marked the 15th anniversary of constitutional and statutory protection of personal data therein. The new Constitution and the Personal Data Protection Act (both 1997) constitute one of the hallmarks of the democratic change in Poland. This panel will offer a critical analysis on how public authorities use personal data and will focus on surveillance, data retention and data subject’s rights. Special attention will be given to issues such as balancing security and privacy in the (controversial) research project ‘INDECT’ and processing of personal data for religious purposes.
13.00 Lunch
14.00 Gamifying citizenship: behavior, policy and privacy
co-organised by JRC-IPTS and CPDP
hosted by Shara Monteleone (JRC-IPTS) and Aaron Martin (OECD)
panel Alessandro Acquisti, Carnegie Mellon University (US), Norberto Andrade, JRC-IPTS (EU), Sebastian Deterding, Hans-Bredow-Institut für Medienforschung (DE), Kevin Werbach, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania (US)
The concept of ‘gamification’ - referring to the use of game elements, designs and strategies to encourage certain desired actions in non-game contexts - is currently all the rage. This panel explores the use of these techniques in policy-making (for example to reduce energy consumption or to ameliorate urban transportation systems), paying special attention to the privacy and reputational risks that may emerge from these applications. The panel will also explore gamification as a mechanism for improving privacy and information security decision making, and in particular the following issues:
- How can gamification be applied to improve policy outcomes?
- What are the emergent privacy risks in gamified contexts?
- How can gamification help to overcome the divergence between the existing legal rules on data protection and the actual behaviour of users?
- How can we use gamification as a privacy policy tool?
15.15 Coffee break
15.30 What are the key prerequisites for successful self-regulation?
hosted by Nicolas Dubois (DG JUST, European Commission) and Dennis Hirsch (Capital University Law School)
panel Kasey Chappelle, Vodaphone (UK), Gwendal Le Grand, CNIL (FR), Joe McNamee, EDRi (BE), Sarah Spiekermann, Vienna University of Economics and Business (AT)
What, exactly, is ‘self-regulation’ and what is its track record in protecting personal data? Representatives from government, private industry, NGOs and academia will identify and analyse different forms of self-regulation focusing on real-world examples of self-regulation in data protection. They will offer ideas about when it succeeds, when it does not, and why. Finally, the panel will examine the self-regulatory aspects of the new EU Data Protection Regulation and discuss how regulated parties can best implement them.
16.45 Privacy by design with or without information security?
co-organised by ENISA and CPDP
hosted by Rodica Tirtea (ENISA) & Patrick Van Eecke (DLA Piper)
panel Giuseppe Abbamonte, EC DG CONNECT (EU), Ronny Bjones, Microsoft (BE), Kirsten Bock, EuroPriSe (DE), Frank Dawson, NOKIA (US), Siani Pearson, HP (UK), Melanie Volkamer, CASED, Darmstadt University (DE)
In synergy with regulation, information security technology is expected to play a critical role in enforcing the right for privacy and data protection. In this panel session we will discuss the role of security in privacy by design and by default. Standardisation and certification issues for security and privacy will be also covered. The focus is on technological means to support privacy and data protection.
Topics to be discussed include:
- Privacy by default embedded in technology, first examples
- Certification, accreditation and the use of emblems for enhancing privacy by default
- The role of standardisation in reaching the privacy by design and privacy by default principles
- New ideas and suggestions for promoting privacy principles in design stage
