The Evolving Role of the Individual in Privacy Protection: 30 Years After the OECD Privacy Guidelines
OECD Conference The Evolving Role of the Individual in Privacy Protection: 30 Years after the OECD Privacy Guidelines International Convention Center, Jerusalem, Israel 25-26 October 2010 AGENDA Context This year marks the 30th anniversary of the OECD Guidelines for the Protection of Privacy and Transborder Data Flows. Adopted in 1980, the Privacy Guidelines were the first internationally-agreed statement of the core privacy principles and have proven highly influential over the years. But these 30 years have transformed the context in which the Guidelines operate. They have brought dramatic changes in the volume and uses of personal data, triggered in part by improvements in the ability to collect, store, process, aggregate, link, analyse, and transfer vast quantities of data. Advances in computing power have combined with easy access to fixed and mobile devices globally connected through the Internet to expand the role of personal data in the economy and society. Individuals are now active data creators, not just passive data subjects. Organisations can and do link increasing amounts of data back to individuals, bringing economic and social benefits, but also expanding the scale of activities with the potential to put privacy at risk. And the complexities of current data processing challenge the abilities of individuals to exercise effective control over their personal data. There is a need for innovative approaches to protect privacy – with many efforts underway – but further reflection is also needed on how well the key privacy principles function in the current environment. A number of international organisations, including OECD, are currently embarked on this exercise. 1 This Conference, focused on the evolving role of the individual, is one of three events organised by the OECD during this anniversary year to examine the current environment for protecting privacy.
