Webinar Overview
Don’t base your legal compliance strategy on invalid assumptions about de-identification.
De-identification can be a useful tool for protecting data and enabling privacy compliance, but many GRC, legal and privacy professionals feel intimidated by mysterious maths and scary statistics. Meanwhile researchers and data scientists need advice about whether their de-identification plans will meet obligations under privacy law.
Not your average webinar
Presented by leading privacy practitioner and the author of Demystifying De-identification Anna Johnston, this webinar will offer a practical, skills-building session for participants. Anna has presented workshops about de-identification at conferences from Sydney and Melbourne to Cambridge, winning praise for her pragmatic approach.
Be prepared to participate in quick and fun re-identification challenges, which illustrate the pros and cons of different de-identification techniques.
What you will learn
Watch this recorded webinar and gain an understanding of what de-identification means (in law, and in practice), how de-identification works (and when it doesn’t), and the different methods, with their relative strengths and weaknesses.
Using plain language and common sense examples, this webinar will assist you to:
- improve your data literacy – speak the language of data scientists, researchers and statisticians
- understand when de-identification works to avoid Privacy Act compliance – and importantly, when it doesn’t
- critically analyse the privacy risks of projects involving data sharing or data analytics, and
- identify which de-identification approaches to use when, to protect personal information.
