PrivacyLive Speaker Series: Working Towards Trusted Data Use
Join us for this PrivacyLive Forum and learn about the Data Futures Partnership’s Guidelines for Trusted Data Use from
one of its authors, Professor Rhema Vaithianathan, at our free public PrivacyLive Forum in Auckland on 11 April 2018.
This PrivacyLive Forum is on from 12.30pm-1.30pm at the Pioneer Women’s Hall, Ellen Melville Centre, Freyberg Place (off
High St), Central Auckland.
The Guidelines for Trusted Data Use were created for the Data Futures Partnership and they set out the key questions New
Zealanders expect to be answered before they are comfortable sharing their personal information. The Guidelines offer
advice on the sort of answers likely to lead to trusted data use. They also explain situations where proactive
engagement with communities may be needed.
