Your life in numbers: Collection, protection and rights in the world of the Internet of Things

Were you frightened the first time Siri told you what bus to take to get to work, how long it would take, and what coat you should wear given the outside temperature? If you answered yes, come and hear our guests discuss the various legal issues pertaining to data privacy, data retention and data handling in a world where an increasing number of electronic devices gather information about our habits and behaviour to tailor their softwares to your needs and THEIR needs.

Joignez vous au McGill Intellectual Property & Information Technology Policy Club (IPITPOL) pour découvrir comment les développeurs manipulent et protègent les données amassées par leurs appareils et pour participer au dialogue visant à éveiller les esprits sur les enjeux juridiques en lien avec l’utilisation de ces données par des tiers.

This panel will receive experts in the field of communications law, data privacy and business affairs; we are pleased to welcome Prof. Sunny Handa, Prof. Fenwick McKelvey (Concordia) and Prof. Richard Janda to share with us their experience and their concerns about the Internet of Things.
