In our open data, cloud computing world, privacy is a key issue that continually needs to be addressed. The City of Seattle recently adopted its own set of Privacy Principles to keep our citizens informed and protected and to provide transparency. Our department-specific Privacy Tool Kits will be implemented in the coming months.
Seattle is taking the lead on privacy issues, but as technology changes, so will privacy initiatives. With that in mind, the next topic for Seattle City Club’s Seattle Speaks series is “Privacy Politics.”
Join Councilmember Bruce Harrell, Seattle CTO Michael Mattmiller, Seattle PD COO Mike Wagers and others as they offer insight on topics like: Are we losing control of our digital privacy? Does releasing certain government-held information harm or help the public?
Seattle Speaks is Wednesday, April 22, 2015 at Town Hall. You can even submit questions right now on the registration page. Doors open at 6 pm. Because this event is televised live, audience members are asked to take their seats by 6:30 pm for the 7 pm program.
The Emmy-award winning Seattle Speaks series is presented in partnership with Seattle CityClub, Seattle Channel and Town Hall.
