Soundbites from the 34th Annual Privacy Conference in Uraguay

Your very own Dataprotector was not able to attend this year’s annual privacy conference. My travel budget does not (yet) stretch to a few days in Uruguay. I’d happily pop over to Ulster, but Uruguay really is just a step too far.

Anyway, the conference focused on the theme “Privacy and Technology in Balance”. And what was said that was absolutely revolutionary and that had never been said before? Well, from what I can gather, here are just some of the most important soundbites to emerge from that event from a random selection of a few of the greatest data protection minds in the business. These quotes focus on insights that have never been offered before:

Jacob Kohnstamm, Chairman of the Dutch Data Protection Authority: “Blah blah blah blah blah bhal blah – blah blah blah blah.”

Eduardo Ustaran, Partner at Field Fisher Waterhouse: “Blah blah blah blah blah bhal blah – blah blah blah blah.”

Florence Raynal, Head of International and European Services at the CNIL: “Blah blah blah blah blah blah bhal – blah blah blah blah.”

Pat Walshe, Director of Privacy at the GSMA: “Blah blah blah blah blah blah bhal – blah blah blah blah.”

Gus Hosein, Executive Director at Privacy International: “Blah blah blah blah blah blah bhal – blah blah blah blah.”

UK Information Commissioner's Office: “Blah blah blah blah blah blah bhal – blah blah blah blah.”

Bruno Gencarelli, Head of International Relation at the European Commission: “Blah blah blah blah blah blah bhal – blah blah blah blah.”

José Luis Rodríguez Álvarez, Director of the Spanish Data Protection Authority: “Blah blah blah blah blah blah bhal – blah blah blah blah.”

Peter Schaar, Federal Data Protection Authority of Germany: “Blah blah blah blah blah blah bhal – blah blah blah blah.”

Peter Hustinx, European Data Protection Supervisor: (Concerning the draft EU Regulation) “Blah blah blah blah blah blah bhal – blah blah blah blah.”

If you were there and think that, actually, I’ve missed one of the earth-shattering announcements, please do get in touch.

(On the other hand, this article could just be me letting off steam at not being able to enjoy a few days in the company of these great minds in Uruguay, chewing the fat and mulling over the great data protection issues of the day. Had I have been able to attend the event last week, I do appreciate that some of the quotes I’ve used might have been slightly different.)
