If the reason for the United States to enact comprehensive privacy legislation is to protect against negative outcomes, then those outcomes need to be identified.  The IAF model privacy legislation suggests the negative outcomes to be targeted are “Adverse Processing Outcomes.”  Others have suggested the target should be preventing harm, and professors Citron and Solove have suggested a very hefty harm definition.  Professor Neil Richards has suggested the term “abusive” should take its place next to the terms “unfair” and “deceptive” in the FTC Act.  The IAF believes preventing “Adverse Processing Outcomes” best sets up a risk-based process, and this premise is the topic for the January 27^th special Privacy Week Policy and Strategy call.

The IAF team will be joined by Irina Raicu, Director of the Internet Ethics Program at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University and Andrew Serwin, US Chair and Global Co-Chair, Data Protection, Privacy and Security Practice, DLA Piper.  Risk needs to be defined before it can be governed.  Irina and Andy will help us discuss whether the prevention of Adverse Processing Outcomes best sets up a risk-based approach.  Join the discussion at the time and link below.   Read the related blog.

Please join the call on Thursday, January 27 at the time specific to your location.
