Send us a textIn this episode of The Data Diva Talks Privacy, Debbie Reynolds welcomes Carly Kind, the Australian Privacy Commissioner at the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner. Carly shares her remarkable journey from a career in criminal defense law and human rights advocacy to becoming one of the leading voices in global privacy regulation. She discusses her early exposure to privacy issues through work at the UN and NGOs such as Privacy International and the Ada Lovelace Institute, where she focused on the intersection of technology, human rights, and AI governance.Debbie and Carly explore the philosophical and practical dimensions of privacy, touching on its roots in human dignity, autonomy, and democracy. Carly challenges the often-framed conflict between privacy and innovation, arguing that strong privacy protections foster trust and are essential for societal progress and sustainable technological development. She also shares her insights as a regulator, describing the complex and often resource-intensive reality of enforcing privacy laws and ensuring compliance across a wide spectrum of entities.The conversation then turns to pressing global concerns, particularly the privacy implications of artificial intelligence, including the erosion of purpose limitation principles and the growing dominance of data-rich tech companies. Carly raises important concerns about biometric surveillance, data exploitation in real estate and credit sectors, and the widespread tracking of individuals' digital behavior.One of the focal points of the discussion is Australia's Social Media Minimum Age Act, which mandates a ban on children under 16 using social media platforms. Carly reflects on the privacy risks of increased identity verification, the evolving nature of the internet, and the unintended consequences of well-intentioned regulation. She also discusses the importance of advancing children's online privacy rights through robust regulatory codes.In closing, Carly shares her vision for a more equitable digital future. She emphasizes the need for public reconnection with the foundational values of privacy, calls for a rebalancing of power in the digital ecosystem, and advocates for genuine consumer choice and competitive digital markets. This thought-provoking conversation offers a nuanced look at the global state of privacy, regulation, and the future of human rights in the digital age.Support the show

In this episode of the Security Insider Podcast, we speak with Australian Privacy Commissioner Carly Kind. In addition to her current role as the Australian Privacy Commissioner, Carly has a Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice, A Masters in International Relations from the London School of Economics and Political Science and is the former Legal Director for Privacy International and most recently, the former Director of the Ada Lovelace Institute – an independent research institute with a mission to ensure data and AI work for people and society. In her current role as the Australian Privacy Commissioner, Carly is responsible for shaping Australia's information handling landscape across the economy – from government, digital platforms and the online environment, to health, finance and telecommunications. In this episode, we discuss the recent findings arising from the OAIC's Investigations into Bunning's use of Facial Recognition, what the OAIC believes should have been done differently, how they reached their findings and what needs to be done in future to ensure other businesses can avoid breaches of the Australian Privacy Principles when deploying facial recognition systems.

Ospite della settimana: Leila Belhadj Mohamed Contributo audio: Antonella Napolitano Due anni fa il governo britannico ha deciso di iniziare a sorvegliare i migranti rilasciati dalla detenzione amministrativa con dei braccialetti applicati alle loro caviglie. Doveva essere solo una sperimentazione, ma non è andata così. I braccialetti hanno un sistema Gps collegato al Ministero dell'interno britannico e servono per sorvegliare ogni loro spostamento 24 ore su 24. Secondo il governo il braccialetto serve a scoraggiare che siano commessi dei crimini. Ma in realtà si tratta di una violazione totale dei diritti di queste persone, tanto che molte ong e associazioni hanno protestato duramente.

The 20th century birthed ‘Big Brother' - an omnipresent surveillance state - but the 21st century's digital surveillance capacities have created a ‘Big Other' - online corporations watching us more closely than any state apparatus ever has - the difference is, we've put Big Other in our own pockets and homes.  Emily Hart is joined by Luis Fernando García, Executive Director and co-founder of Mexican digital rights organisation R3D, and Tomaso Falchetta, who leads Privacy International's global policy engagement.  They'll be digging into issues of online privacy and surveillance - how much do we even know about the data being collected on us? Why does it matter to our human rights and democracies? What can we do?

‘Breakthrough' In Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Research Is Misleading Last week, headlines made the rounds in online publications and social media that there was a massive breakthrough in research about SIDS: Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. A study out of Australia concluded that babies who died of SIDS had significantly lower levels of an enzyme called BChE. This study was met with cheers by people desperate to understand why SIDS happens. But many experts say we need to pump the brakes on the celebration. While the study may be promising, it was based on a very limited sample—just 26 babies who had died of SIDS. A variety of factors could explain their different levels of BChE, says Dr. Rachel Moon, a professor of pediatrics and SIDS research at the University of Virginia. Moon explains that there are two major hurdles for researchers trying to investigate the causes of SIDS. First, as grieving parents are very unlikely to consent to their deceased child's use in medical studies, the sample pool for genetic testing of SIDS death is incredibly small. Secondly, there are just very few people who specialize in the syndrome; Dr. Moon suspects there are one hundred or fewer researchers of SIDS in the entire world. She joins guest host John Dankosky to discuss how these factors make it hard for researchers to study why some babies continue to die prematurely.   Period Tracking Apps And Digital Privacy In A Post-Roe World After the leak of the Supreme Court's pending decision on Roe v. Wade law, digital privacy experts have been raising an alarm about digital privacy. Millions of people use apps to track their menstrual cycles—the popular app Flo has 43 million active users. And Clue, a similar company, says they have 12 million monthly active users. But in recent weeks, many on social media have been urging others to delete their period tracking apps, saying that the data you share on them could be potentially be used against you if abortion becomes criminalized in states across the country. Guest host John Dankosky talks with Laura Lazaro Cabrera, legal officer at Privacy International, about what kinds of data period tracking apps collect, how personal health data can be used in court, and how to protect your digital privacy.   How Can We Inspire The Next Generation Of Female Scientists? The work of pioneering female scientists like Marie Curie and Jane Gooddall have served as an inspiration to many aspiring scientists. But less well-known are the early and mid-career female scientists who are working to answer some of today's biggest scientific questions. A new book from National Geographic offers kids and tweens a look into the day-to-day lives of women working in the fields of volcanology, biology, anthropology, astronomy, and more. A central theme among the profiles is persistence in the face of obstacles. Producer Shoshannah Buxbaum talks with Clare Fiesler, conservation biologist, National Geographic explorer, and co-author of No Boundaries: 25 Women Explorers and Scientists Share Adventures, Inspiration, and Advice.   Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

This week, we welcome Susie Alegre, a leading human rights barrister in the internationally renowned Doughty Street Chambers. She has been a legal pioneer in digital human rights, in particular the impact of artificial intelligence on the human rights of freedom of thought and opinion. Her book, Freedom to Think, charts the history and importance of our most basic human right: freedom of thought. From Galileo to Nudge Theory to Alexa, Susie explores how the powerful have always sought to get inside our heads, influence how we think and shape what we buy. Providing a bold new framework to understand how our agency is being gradually undermined, Freedom to Think is a groundbreaking and vital charter for taking back our humanity and safeguarding our reason in the technological age. In this fascinating episode we discuss: How human rights underpin what it means to be human and why the right to the freedom of thought should be protected at all costs How historically this right has come under threat, but never more so that today, when the threat of surveillance capitalism means our minds are read every single minute We discuss how to stay cognisant of how technology is affecting our freedom of thought And future strategies to keep us safe. This episode is part of our mini-series on 'Self' where we explore how our technology impacts some of the most important aspects of being human. Over the coming weeks we will speak with Krista Tippett, creator of On Being, Susie Alegre, human rights lawyer and author of Freedom to Think, Jillian Horton MD, physician and author of We are All Perfectly Fine, Casey Swartz, author of Attention, A Love Story, L M Sarcasas, renown commentator on technology & society, and Sharath Jeevan OBE, motivation expert and author of Intrinsic. Our goal: to help all our listeners to think more critically about the role of technology in our lives, and how it shapes who we are.

Your phone number is arguably as strong a personal identifier as your social security number, passport number or email address. These are things we almost never change any more - meaning that it's an identifier for life. Our cell phones contain a ton of personal information, including our locations (not just now, but over time). Today I'll help you understand why it's so important to protect your cell phone number and digital contact lists. In other news: you need to update everything again...

Since the Schrems-II judgment came down on July 16th, the message has slowly sunk in that Europe is serious about looking at privacy and data protection through the glasses of fundamental rights protection. That was even reinforced by the Privacy International and Quadrature du Net cases, published at the start of October. Any interference with the fundamental rights to privacy and data protection, needs to be limited in time, scope and content, according to the courts, as well as necessary and proportionate. But what does it actually mean that privacy and data protection ARE fundamental rights. And is the “universal fundamental rights approach” compatible with a more economic rights approach taken in other jurisdictions?In this episode of Serious Privacy, Paul Breitbarth and K Royal speak to two guests from international organisations working on fundamental rights. Sophie Kwasny is the Head of the Data Protection Unit of the Council of Europe, and as such, one of the key players when it comes to the so-called Convention 108. Michael Donohue is the Data Protection Officer for the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development.

We regret to inform you that Corbyn has officially nationalized Connected & Disaffected. Everybody is wondering who will be next. Trains? The internet? What's next - the health service!!?1 We debunk some of the hysteria around these announcements while adding a note of caution around just how ambitious the Labour plans are. The big issue is figuring out if this push towards nationalizing public assets is just a throwback to simpler times or something that can actually solve modern problems. A good example: the issue of data in the internet age. We spoke to Mozilla Fellow Valentina Pavel to explore some of the unresolved tensions we have on that issue.

A discussion held at the University of Cambridge on 18 November 2019, with Sir Patrick Elias, Professor Mark Elliott, and Professor Alison Young. The event was hosted by the Centre for Public Law. In R (Privacy International) v Investigatory Powers Tribunal [2019] UKSC 22, the Supreme Court, by 4 judgments to 3, concluded that a clause removing judicial review of the court over decisions of the Investigatory Powers Tribunal (IPT), including those as to whether the IPT had jurisdiction, could not remove judicial review by the court for legal errors made by the IPT when determining its jurisdiction. The legislation could be interpreted so as not to remove review over purported decisions as to whether the IPT had jurisdiction – in other words those decisions tainted by a legal error. The individual judgments provide an array of arguments which have an impact on how courts interpret ouster clauses and legislation more generally, the foundations of judicial review, parliamentary sovereignty and the rule of law. This lecture explains the judgments and evaluates their implications. For more information see: https://www.cpl.law.cam.ac.uk/

Millionen Frauen nutzen Apps, um ihren Zyklus zu tracken. Recherchen von Privacy International zeigen: Viele dieser Apss geben sensible Daten ihrer Nutzenden an Facebook und Dritte weiter. Florian Gut und Valérie Nowak sprechen über die Konsequenzen und Alternativen.

Privacy International, a UK based advocacy group discovered that some period tracking apps were leaking sensitive data, such as logged contraception use and menstruation symptoms, to Facebook and other third parties. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

If you're trying to get pregnant, you may have turned to an ovulation- or period-tracking app for help. Millions of women around the world use them for a variety of reasons. But what happens to the highly personal data people enter in these apps? In some cases, it gets fed to third parties — including Facebook. That's according to a Buzzfeed News investigation and a new report by the UK-based advocacy group Privacy International, which looked at apps being used in different parts of the world.The apps monitored in the study included Maya by Plackal Tech, MIA Fem by Mobapp Development Limited, and Mi Calendario Menstrual by Grupo Familia (an app targeting users in Latin America). They also looked at My Period Tracker by Linchpin Health, Period Tracker & Ovulation Calculator by Pinkbird, and Period Tracker by GP International LLC.The World's Marco Werman spoke with Eva Blum-Dumontet, the researcher who led the study on the period-tracking apps at Privacy International.  Marco Werman: What are some of the apps that you looked at and what purpose do they serve?Eva Blum-Dumontet: We looked at Maya by Plackal Tech, MIA by Mobapp Development Limited, and Mi Calendario by Grupo Familia — which is an app targeting users in Latin America. We also looked at My Period Tracker by Linchpin Health, Ovulation Calculator by Pinkbird, and Period Tracker by GP International LLC. And what we found is that the ones that are both called Maya [MIA] has very worrying practices because essentially they ask their users to enter extremely sensitive data not just about their menstruation but also about their sexual lives and also all sorts of medical data like their birth control pill but also even like their blood pressure any sort of medical history they might have. And this is all shared with Facebook and other third parties."All of them actually are collecting very sensitive data." And those other apps that you mentioned — are they also acquiring the same kind of data?All of them actually are collecting very sensitive data. The other ones were not sharing [that data] with Facebook or other third parties. But what they were doing though is that every time the user would open the app they let Facebook know that the user is opening the app. So Facebook knows that you're using this app, which means that you're a person who menstruates ... [or it] means you're at a time of your cycle where you're actually on your period. It probably also tells Facebook that you may be either trying to have a child or trying to avoid getting pregnant. So there is a lot of information already that can be inferred from just nearly letting Facebook know that you've opened up the app.Just to be clear, the app developers would say this [information] is legitimately needed to make certain determinations about your fertility, correct?So, it's needed for them, but what's absolutely not mandatory, is sharing it with Facebook.So what does Facebook do with this information?It's unclear at this stage what Facebook does with this information. [But] what we question is why a company like Facebook should have access to this data when we think back to the reality of what has happened with Facebook collecting so much data about us in the past, and, obviously, I'm thinking, for example, about the Cambridge Analytica scandal and the targeting of populations in the context of elections. It is worrying that a company like Facebook would hold so much data and so much personal intimate data.Who around the world is typically using these apps? So the apps we've looked at are particularly popular in India, in Indonesia, and in the Philippines.Right. And women there — are they given this information voluntarily? I mean, do you know if there are concerns about privacy in those countries?We partnered with BuzzFeed for this research and they've interviewed users of these apps in various countries, and, obviously, sadly, a lot of users are simply not aware of the data collection and data sharing of those apps and their practices.Right, which seems like this ought to be changed. If people are unaware, they should be made aware. I mean, how clear do these apps make it into their terms of service?We have been looking at the privacy policies of those apps. It's worth bearing in mind that for the general public, for the average person, it would be actually quite a difficult thing to read. It's not necessarily written in very accessible language. It's quite long.Did you not explicitly clarify the extent to which they share information with third parties?So we actually question even the legality of the privacy policies that are not sufficiently transparent, not sufficiently explicit, especially, when, as I said, they are collecting medical data."If you don't understand what you're signing, it cannot be understood as informed consent, and that's actually what we would argue in this case." I mean, the thing is, even when people are aware and they then decide to fork over their data, they're doing it voluntarily, right?Well, there is a question to be asked — is it people doing it voluntarily when they don't actually understand what's going to happen to this data and when it's not properly explained to them? In European data protection legislation, there is the really important notion of informed consent. If you don't understand what you're signing, it cannot be understood as informed consent, and that's actually what we would argue in this case.This interview was edited and condensed for clarity.

50 US-Staaten und Territorien untersuchen Google Zyklus-Apps senden sensible Daten an Facebook VW stellt ID.3 vor UND Paypal bietet Ratenzahlungen mit zwölf Monaten Laufzeit an Google muss sich einer historischen Kartelluntersuchung in den USA stellen. Bis auf Alabama und Googles Heimatstaat Kalifornien haben die Justizminister aller US-Staaten am Montag eine gemeinsame Untersuchung von Googles Geschäftspraxis eingeleitet. Das gab es so noch nie. Auch der Hauptstadtbezirk District of Columbia sowie das Territorium Puerto Rico sind mit dabei.Untersucht wird die Marktmacht Googles bei Online-Werbung sowie der Suche im Web. Diese Stellung könnte Google für wettbewerbsschädigendes Verhalten ausgenutzt haben. Die Apps "MIA Fem" und "Maya" werden von vielen Frauen genutzt, um mit dem Zyklus einhergehende Symptome im Blick zu haben. Genau diese Daten wurden an Facebook weitergeleitet. Die Apps sollen schon vor der Zustimmung zu den Nutzungsregeln Daten mit Facebook teilen, heißt es in einem Bericht von Privacy International. Dabei spielt es keine Rolle, ob der Nutzer bei Facebook überhaupt ein Konto hat. Zu den Informationen, die weitergegeben werden, kann etwa das generelle Befinden gehören, Wissen über Hautprobleme, Schmerzen, Krämpfe und eben auch, wann die Person zuletzt Geschlechtsverkehr hatte. Genutzt werden die Daten, um personalisierte Werbung auszuspielen. Volkswagen leitet mit der Vorstellung des ID.3 auf der IAA eine Revolution ein. Das batterieelektrische Kompaktauto könnte der Beginn einer völligen Umkehr beim Antrieb sein, weg vom Verbrennungsmotor. Der ID.3 ist das erste Auto des Konzerns auf Basis des flexiblen Modularen Elektrifizierungsbaukastens MEB. Schon 2021 sollen im Werk Zwickau sechs unterschiedliche MEB-Fahrzeuge verteilt auf drei Marken vom Band laufen. Paypal-Kunden können künftig Online-Bestellungen in Raten zahlen. Der Bezahldienst bietet die Option für Bestellungen zwischen 199 und 5000 Euro an. Die Laufzeit beträgt zwölf Monate bei einem effektiven Jahreszins in Höhe von 9,99 Prozent. Die Bewilligung erfolgt in Echtzeit, teilte Paypal mit. Diese und weitere aktuelle Nachrichten finden Sie ausführlich auf heise.de

Gesundheitsportale leaken Daten an Werbenetzwerke Wer sich im Internet nach einer Erkrankung wie Depressionen erkundigt, hat mitunter ungebetene Zuschauer. Wie eine Untersuchung der Datenschutz-Aktivisten von Privacy International zeigt, enthalten viele Websites mit Gesundheits-informationen Tracker, die zum Teil detaillierte Informationen an Werbenetzwerke weiterleiten. Die Organisation analysierte 136 in Europa populäre Websites, die Informationen über Depressionen bereitstellen. Knapp 98 Prozent davon enthielten Tracking-Elemente wie Third-Party-Cookies oder externe Skripte. Die Studie zeigte zudem ein deutliches Datenschutzgefälle. Während in Deutschland 61 Prozent der untersuchten Websites Tracker zu Marketing-Zwecken eingebunden haben, liegt der Anteil in Frankreich bei über 80 Prozent. Android 10 veröffentlicht Wie angekündigt ist mit Android 10 nun die jüngste Version von Googles Mobil-Betriebssystems veröffentlicht worden - zuerst ausschließlich für Pixel-Smartphones. Noch in diesem Jahr soll das Android-Update auch auf andere Geräte kommen. Android 10 soll den Nutzern unter anderem neue Datenschutz-Optionen an die Hand geben. Und wie die neue Version von iOS bietet auch das neue Android die Möglichkeit, das gesamte Erscheinungsbild dunkel zu schalten. US-Staaten planen Kartell-Untersuchung Googles Die Justizminister von mehr als der Hälfte der 50 US-Staaten planen konzertierte kartellrechtliche Untersuchungen Googles. Eine entsprechende offizielle Verlautbarung ist laut Washington Post für kommenden Montag geplant. Die genauen Themen sind noch nicht bekannt. Die immer wieder aufkommenden Vorwürfe gegen Google reichen jedoch vom Missbrauch personenbezogener Daten, über zu viel Werbemacht bis zu anti-konservativen Algorithmen. Neues Spiegelreflex-Spitzenmodell in Sicht 20 Jahre nach der D1 kündigt Nikon nun die Entwicklung der D6 an. Das Spiegelreflex-Spitzenmodell richtet sich an Profis. Viel ist noch nicht bekannt.

The Investigatory Powers Tribunal is the only judicial means of holding the secret services to account but it operates in the shadows with almost no connection to the formal legal system. In this case the Supreme Court has the opportunity to assess whether the decisions of the tribunal should still be subject to judicial review despite an ouster clause. Music from bensound.com

Olivier Roth speaks to Privacy International’s Millie Graham Wood about phone data extraction. The use of ‘mobile phone extraction’ tools enables police forces to download all of the content and data from people’s phones. This can apply to suspects, witnesses and even victims - without their knowledge. With no clear policies or guidance on the use of this technology, individuals are unaware of their legal rights, or of how the data is used, stored, or secured.

Vi är tillbaka efter ett kort sommaruppehåll och inleder med en sammanfattning av fadäsen kring Transportstyrelsen. Sedan en uppdatering av de senaste händelserna i EUs upphovsrättsdirektiv - idel bakslag tyvärr - innan vi gör ett nyhetssvep över världen: Österrikare får EU-domstolen att lämna ut dokument, men straffas när han publicerar informationen. I Turkiet riskerar användare av appar för krypterade meddelanden att arresteras. Australiens premiärminister Malcolm Turnbull tror sig kunna förbjuda kryptering med argumentet att matematikens lagar inte gäller i Australien. Nya Zeeland följer USA och kräver vissa inresande på deras lösenord till deras digitala enheter. Privacy International stämmer amerikanska staten för att få tillgång till sekretessbelagd information om Five Eyes-samarbetet. I USA diskuteras om extremvänstergruppen Antifa, eller AFA som vi säger i Sverige (Antifascistisk aktion), kan klassas som terrorister. Kina tvingar medborgare att installera övervakningsapp på sina telefoner och i provinsen Xinjiang stoppar polisen folk på gatan för att kolla om de gjort detta. Vi avslutar med att kritisera regeringens handlingsplan mot hot och hat som Alice Bah Kuhnke har presenterat. Planen har titeln "Till det fria ordets försvar", men vems ord är det egentligen som regeringen vill försvara? 5 juli-podden görs av Karl Andersson och Henrik "HAX" Alexandersson. Varje tisdag. Vi ber om ursäkt för ljudsprak under den första minuten och sämre ljudkvalitet på Karl under detta avsnitts första del (men det är mest HAX som pratar då).

Governments use database technology to both deliver social services and surveil populations. However, with this power comes crucial questions. Is arbitrarily violating people's privacy necessary for national security? Who controls how surveillance technology is used? Research officer Claire Lauterbach from Privacy International joins Declarations to discuss these complex issues surrounding privacy. In this episode, we explore Claire's research on different surveillance programs throughout the world and why the "collect-it-all" paradigm of certain intelligence agencies is so problematic.

In this special bonus sub-episode Techworld's Scott Carey speaks to Joseph Gordon-Levitt, the Hollywood star who is currently in theatres around the world playing Edward Snowden in the film that carries his name. The discussion ranges from mass surveillance to Donald Trump and social media echo chambers. The roundtable discussion includes Mairi Clare Rodgers and Silkie Carlo from Liberty; Barbora Bukovska, Article 19; Harmit Kambo, Privacy International and Abigail Chandler, Gizmodo UK. Snowden is in UK cinemas from December 9. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

South Africa's human rights record is reviewed by the United Nations for the first time, today. According to the UN, South Africa submitted a report to the committee on the implementations of its human rights obligations. Non-governmental organisations have also sent report for consideration. Last month, Right2Know Campaign, Privacy International, and the Association for Progressive Communications submitted a joint report on surveillance and privacy issues in South Africa. For more on this we're now joined on the line by R2K National Spokesperson Murray Hunter.

When all around you seems to be going "open", what should you know and bear in mind to avoid a privacy debacle. Unless your data is solely about inanimate objects, there will be privacy considerations for your business or organisation. Done properly, suitable consideration may be trivial; done badly, it can be catastrophic, and hindsight is always better when the stories are about a different organisation. With kittens and hopefully some humour, Sam Smith of Privacy International covers how your organisation can avoid a future audience laughing (uncomfortably) at the privacy choices you should have made for your users, your customers and citizens.

Simon Davies (Director, Privacy International) presents an overview of the key privacy risks, especially as regards the Internet, which have emerged in the Web 3.0 era. This seminar is the first in the OxPILS series "Mending the Tangled Web? Informational Privacy 3.0". This series has been generously made possible with funding from a Joint Programme between the European Union and the Council of Europe. (The views expressed are those of the individual speakers only). The talk argued that the current data protection framework is struggling to cope with the mass and diffuse nature of data processing which has now become ubiquitous. One way forward may be to develop and entrench technology with build-in privacy protections such as cryto-algorithms at every level.
