I wanted to challenge every innovator and engineer to operation- alize Privacy by Design and make it an ev- eryday reality. I was delighted by their re- sponse to my message and their willingness to take up the challenge to make privacy the default condition. It became clear that this was eminently “doable!” The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Cor- poration (OLG) launched its voluntary self-exclusion program following a suc- cessful collaboration with my office and the University of Toronto. This program sought to embed a design protocol based on Privacy by Design called Biometric En- cryption.

URBANISM UNDER GOOGLE: LESSONS FROM SIDEWALK TORONTO Ellen P. Goodman* & Julia Powles** Cities around the world are rapidly adopting digital technologies, data analytics, and the trappings of “smart” infrastructure. These innovations are touted as solutions to help rationalize services and address rising urban challenges, whether in housing, transit, energy, law enforcement, health care, waste management, or population flow. Promises of urban innovation unite cities’ need for help with technology firms’ need for markets and are rarely subject to evidentiary burdens about projected benefits (let alone costs). For the city, being smart is about functioning better and attracting tech plaudits. For the technology company, the smart city is a way to capture the value of data flows—either by directly monetizing behavioral insights or by using those insights to design or acquire services—and then realizing the network effects and monopoly rents that have characterized information technology platforms.

    Information Technology & Competitive Advantage Privacy and the Open Networked Enterprise Privacy June, 2005 June, and the IT& Open Networked Enterprise CA Big Idea by Dr. Ann Cavoukian New Paradigm October 17, 2006 Privacy and the Enterprise 2.0 by Dr. Ann Cavoukian and Don Tapscott The Story in Brief Based on the new Web—known as the Web 2.0—a new model of the corporation is emerging—call it the Enterprise 2.0. The new enterprise is highly networked and open, with high transparency, and effective use of IT to link with various stakeholders—all on a global basis. By necessity, within the Enterprise 2.0, corporate boundaries blur: in order to facilitate effective collaboration, the new enterprise compiles highly granular data from disparate sources (i.e., multiple stakeholders) to create a more holistic business intelligence. Smart firms will build appropriate and effective privacy policies and practices into their systems. In doing so, these firms can avoid potential disasters and create the conditions for trust, loyalty, long-term relationships, and economic advantage. Privacy is no longer a compliance issue; it is a business issue. It must be a business imperative.

Global standards in the Healthcare supply chain: are we there yet? We have already gone a long way, but there is still a long journey ahead. The coming 18 months will be important to continue to lay the foundation for the adoption of global supply chain standards in Healthcare : continue the development of global standards to meet Healthcare specific needs, intensify our efforts advocating global harmonisation, and leverage the network of GS1 Member Organisations to educate local Healthcare communities about GS1 Standards. Also beyond 2009, we anticipate a lengthy adoption process, different from one country to another country and from one stakeholder to another stakeholder, but the benefits in terms of patient safety and efficiency will be substantial from day one for those adopting the standards. To achieve all of this, we need a broad representation from all Healthcare supply chain stakeholders. Many leading manufacturers have joined the recently formed GS1 Healthcare, the global Healthcare user group merging the former GS1 HUG and EPCglobal HLS. We are also happy that a number of Healthcare providers and GPO’s have become a voting member of GS1 Healthcare, including the Hong Kong Hospital Authority, 17 French university hospitals, Vinzenz Gruppe (Vienna, Austria), Erasmus MC and UMC Groningen (the Netherlands), Comparatio University Hospital Group (Germany), Premier (USA), and University of Kentucky Healthcare (USA).

Recent technological advancements have dramatically improved the way documents are captured, stored, shared and retrieved electronically. Managing this information and making full use of digital technology has been a challenge for all institutions, including the courts. The possibility of having instant access to digitized documents from virtually anywhere presents enormous benefits; however, there are also risks in allowing unfettered access to court documents. Some information is sensitive and the impact of its release needs to be carefully weighed in the context of ensuring a fair trial and protecting vulnerable individuals. Courts also have a duty to protect the integrity of all information that are part of legal proceedings. As expectations grow that courts will foster ongoing transparency through the use of modern information technology, courts must seize the opportunities to streamline their policies and governance in this regard. By setting definitions, architectural principles and information management policies, courts may approach this evolving issue with confidence. This discussion paper proposes a framework for individual courts to consider when moving towards the development of their respective Information Management policies.

Dr. Cavoukian joined the Office of the IPe as its first Director of Compliance in 1987. Prior to joining the IPC, she headed the Research Services Branch for the provincial Attorney General.

What is inJonnation privacy? Information privacy essentially revolves around personal control-an individual's right to control the collection, use, and disclosure of his or her personal information. Freedom of choice is vital. Personal information is information that relates to an "identifiable individual." Organizations that collect, use, and disclose personal information can protect an individual's right to privacy by implementing what are commonly referred to as "fair information practices." Fair information practices are a set of common standards that balance an individual's right to privacy with the organization's legitimate need to collect, use, and disclose personal information. In Canada, fair information practices are set out in the Canadian Standards Association Model Codefor the Protection of Personal Information (the CSA Code).
