Four of Australia’s privacy and data protection commissioners joined together on Wednesday for a special online event convened by the Office of the Victorian Information Commissioner for Privacy Awareness Week 2024. The commissioners discussed a range of very topical issues around this year’s theme of privacy and technology and the key principles of transparency, accountability and security. Commissioners from the Commonwealth, Victorian, Queensland and NSW jurisdictions, Carly Kind, Rachel Dixon, Paxton Booth and Sonia Minutillo were joined by moderator Samantha Floreani from Digital Rights Watch in a discussion covering AI and large language models, data breaches and the future. Commissioner Kind reflected on how positive it is to see so many people getting into the detail of questions around privacy and technology, noting the ‘huge amount of interest in the space’. ‘I think we are seeing more and more that organisations are not only considering compliance as necessary but understanding that privacy can be good for businesses and good for operations,’ she said. #PAW2024 #PrivacyAwarenessWeek #PowerUpYourPrivacy Office of the Information Commissioner (Queensland) Information and Privacy Commission NSW

🚨⚖️⏳During his keynote discussion with Angela Mills Wade (European Publishers Council) on how to align privacy and competition, Stephen Almond of the UK’s Information Commissioner’s office recognised that abusive privacy can harm competition and admitted not being a fan of the time suck of consent, especially when low risk. 🆑He does however insist on giving people meaningful control of how they are tracked online. 🗓️He also confirmed that the Information Commissioner’s office report on “consent or pay” business models is going to be published around the end of this year. ☑️This hopes to provide an initial view on the model and the kinds of things that organisations considering it should take into account. #EDAASummit2024 #ConsentOrPay #dataprivacy #AdRegulationUK

Government Transparency vs. Personal Privacy In an era of digital governance, we're facing a critical question: Should we prioritize government transparency with citizen privacy, or citizen transparency with government privacy? The ideal: ✅ Transparent government operations ✅ Protected personal data for citizens The reality often seen: ❌ Opaque government processes ❌ Extensive data collection on citizens Key considerations: 1. How do we ensure government accountability without compromising national security? 2. Can we protect individual privacy while still effectively governing? 3. What role does technology play in this balance? We need a nuanced approach that: • Promotes open government initiatives • Strengthens data protection laws • Educates citizens on their rights and responsibilities What are your thoughts on striking this balance? How can we foster trust between governments and citizens in the digital age? #GovernmentTransparency #DigitalPrivacy #PublicPolicy #CivicTech

California privacy regulator to partner with French data authority. Why it matters: 1. The latest partnership between the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) and France’s Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL) underscores the increasing significance of international cooperation in strengthening data privacy protection. 2. This strategic alignment will facilitate joint research on new technologies and data privacy issues, enhancing global privacy rights enforcement efforts and understanding of best practices in the digital economy. 3. Recognizing the need for global regulatory cooperation, CPPA engages with several international organizations connecting privacy regulators. This global approach signifies a shift towards unified data privacy measures, superseding solely national or regional frameworks.
