A wonderful day today at #PrivacySpace. Still the best Privacy/Data Protection event to go to. Perfect selection of speakers and so good to catch up with many notable experts in the field.
If you are an EdTech vendor that is thinking of using biometric data, or presently use it, then you need to look through this and get involved in the consultation. This will be vital to ensure you know what is going on in the UK and be part of the discussions
Is biometric data always personal information? Is it ever special category data?
Our new draft guidance explains the rules around using biometrics whilst complying with data protection law.

I like this " We view design as an intervention opportunity to center people and their needs. "
There’s a lot that businesses have to consider when protecting the rights of the child online.

“Such work provides a strong example of a famous Māori proverb. Kia whakatōmuri te haere whakamua: I walk backwards into the future with my eyes fixed on my past.” — very thoughtful for discussions on data and #AI and purposes of community regulation
Is it possible to produce AI without epistemic violence? Paper offers a Maori framework for designing and evaluating AI according to an indigenous knowledge system. #digitalrightslink.springer.com/article/10…
Spending the day at #PrivacySpace today. Almost a super-group of Data Protection and Privacy Professionals appearing today. Not a lot of tweeting as Chatham House rules, but looking forward to the discussions. HTTPS://www.privacyspace.eu
I’ll have notifications on, if someone mentions or tags me, and will pick up DMs. My other accounts might be a bit more active (they are very work driven on Data Protection, Privacy and Safeguarding) and there may be areas that really need raising 5/n
Whilst I know that I have been (and would still be) the product, as most of us are … I do have to say that I don’t think paying is that much of an issue … I just think the reasons are completely wrong and will drive this place into (even more) of a madhouse 4/n
I won’t delete accounts though. As with other bits of social media and interwebz, I protect my nom de plume (and variants) so will keep hold of things for the moment. Likewise, not that interested in deleting my history as I have said a few important things in the past 3/n
Like many others, I am probably going to scale back, or even drop, my twitter use until I can be sure it is the right place to be, or if it is somewhere I *should* actually be anymore. 2/n
It has been an interesting few days, seeing people I respect, and people I eagerly follow, raise concerns about the direction @twitter is going. The targets on job cuts are so worrying, and it is impossible to say anything positive right now. 1/n
Proud to be part of our proactive team supporting schools and IT providers to drive up cyber security and resilience standards in schools. New guidance out from the DfE, see the link in the post for the details.
