Friends of personal data, privacy, GDPR, data reuse, data ethics and digital human rights,
Join us for a gathering of the MyData Global Network! MyData is a human-centered approach in personal data management that combines industry need to data with digital human rights.
In this session:
- introduction to the MyData thinking - and updates from Finland and EU
- discussion on GDPR and its effects globally
- introductions of Canadian initiatives on this (what do YOU want to present)
Program to develop still - see below for further details.
We are currently facilitating a large global MyData community around the ethical use of personal data and organise a 1000-person conference on the topic.
MyData is a human centred approach in personal data management that combines industry need to data with digital human rights. MyData is both an alternative vision and guiding technical principles for how we, as individuals, can have more control over the data trails we leave behind us in our everyday actions. The core idea is that we, you and I, should have an easy way to see where data about us goes, specify who can use it, and alter these decisions over time. Personal data has increasingly significant social, economic, and practical value. The EU’s recent General Data Protection Regulation changes the landscape in which organisations operate. MyData makes GDPR actionable - and is on e.g. Finnish government's program as one spearhead project.
