SUMMARY:How to implement a Privacy Impact Assessment Workshop
DESCRIPTION:  \nThis half day workshop will take place alongside the Biometrics Institute Congress and Biometrics Week 2019. \nThe workshop will help you clarify your ideas about privacy management in your organisation\, looking at good practice implementation and how to position your organisation at the forefront of the biometrics industry. It will provide answers to the following questions: \n\n	Do you know how to deal with privacy and artificial intelligence issues?\n	How to deal with potential losses of private data?\n	When does consent become important?\n\nWHO SHOULD ATTEND? \n\n	Any senior officer of an organisation in both the public and private sector.\n	Any key information officer who has responsibility as the manager or sub-manager of privacy issues.\n	Any senior technical person who will be a decision maker or have responsibility for the planning\, roll-out and management of a biometric based business system  \n\nThe Biometrics Institute in consultation with its members has developed a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) Model Template which was an output of our original work on a potential Trustmark. A PIA is a process which helps organisations plan their privacy policies and practices so that risks are anticipated and the privacy of people dealing with that organisation is protected. \nThe very interactive course will help you develop a PIA tool for planning\, rolling out and managing a business development which contains a biometric. It will take participants through a range of scenarios discussing how they potentially impact on privacy and how this could be managed. This is a must-attend event for anyone involved in the planning or implementation of a biometric system providing thought-provoking debate and guidance. \nAll PIAs should be conducted at the planning stage of any new business development and it is especially important to do this when introducing biometrics. \nWORKSHOP PRESENTER \nTerry Aulich is head of the Privacy Experts Group (PEG) of the Biometrics Institute. Terry Aulich is also the chairman of Aulich & Co\, strategic advisors\, pollsters and market researchers since 1993. \nHe was a state minister and federal senator for over sixteen years where he was chair of a number of influential committees\, one of which was the Australia Card committee which recommended the successful implementation of Australia’s Privacy Act\, the 100-point bank identification system\, the tax file number system and other anti-fraud measures. \nAs a head of the Biometrics Institute’s Privacy and Policy Expert Group he provides strategic advice to the CEO and Board. He is also chair of the Privacy Committee of the Australian Market and Social Research Organisation. \nREGISTRATION FEES\nMembers – GBP 250 (+ VAT@20%)\nNon-Members – GBP 450 (+ VAT@20%) \nTo register for this workshop or for the Congress or any of the other Satellite events taking place please go to the main Congress page and register there. \nIMPORTANT DISCLAIMER NOTIFICATION \nThe Biometrics Institute provides training and course material as a tool to help you conduct due diligence.  While the Institute has used reasonable care to ensure the accuracy of the material and course\, due to the content and variable inputs during and after the process of implementing biometrics\, the Institute cannot be held accountable for outcomes or compliance.  The material and course have been prepared for informational purposes only and are not intended to provide legal or compliance advice.   You should consult your legal advisor should you require advice on the legal or compliance aspects of the material or course.

SUMMARY:Privacy Impact Assessment Workshop London
DESCRIPTION:PRESENTER: Hon. Terry Aulich\nChair of the Privacy Committee of the Association of Market and Social Research Organisations\, Terry Aulich is also the Chairman of Aulich & Co\, strategic advisors\, pollsters and market researchers since 1993. He was a state Minister and Federal Senator for over sixteen years where he was chair of a number of influential committees\, one of which was the Australia Card committee which recommended the successful implementation of Australia’s Privacy Act\, the 100-point bank identification system\, the tax file number system and other ant-fraud measures. This interest in security/privacy and new technology drove much of Aulich & Co’s services to companies and government agencies that needed to match people management with technology and market penetration.  \nHe is Head of the Biometrics Institute’s Privacy and Policy Expert Group and provides strategic advice to the CEO and Board. \n\nOUTLINE\nThis workshop will help you clarify your ideas about privacy and your organisation\, especially in answering the following key questions. \na) What is the law?\nb) What is best practice?\nc) How can privacy affect my organisation’s reputation and public trust? \nA Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) is a process which helps organisations plan their privacy policies and practices so that risks are anticipated and the privacy of people dealing with that organisation is protected. \nAll PIAs should be conducted at the planning stage of any new business development and it is especially important to do this when introducing biometrics. \nThe half day course will help you develop a PIA tool for planning\, rolling out and managing a business development which contains a biometric. \n\nAGENDA\n\n	Why a Biometrics PIA?\n	Who should be involved in the PIA process?\n	Setting up a PIA\n	Conducting a PIA\n	Working through a model PIA in detail? How could this relate to your own environment?\n	Summary and final questions\n\n\nWHO SHOULD ATTEND?\n\n	Any senior officer of an organisation in both the public and private sector.\n	Any key information officer who has responsibility as the manager or sub-manager of privacy issues.\n	Any senior technical person who will be a decision maker or have responsibility for the planning\, roll-out and management of a biometric based business system.\n\n\nBECOME A MEMBER AND SAVE\n\nBecome a member now to take advantage of the reduced rates. \n\nIMPORTANT DISCLAIMER INFORMATION\nBy registering for this programme\, I acknowledge and agree to the following: \n\n	The Biometrics Institute expressly disclaims any representations and warranties with respect to the Privacy Impact Assessment (“PIA”) and the Biometrics’ Institute related courses\, tutorials and materials (“Materials”);\n	The Biometrics Institute shall have no liability to me\, any organisation that I represent or am affiliated with\, or any third party with respect to any matters arising from the use of the PIA and the Materials; and \n	The PIA and Materials are not intended to be legal advice\, and the Biometrics Institute recommends that I seek competent legal counsel to advise me on privacy and biometrics related issues. \n\n\nThe Biometrics Institute provides training and course material as a tool to help you conduct due diligence.
