Data protection in web development made easy
We asked ourselves when people who visit the websites have an obligation to report their visits to people and companies they don't know. Online tracking is pervasive and often unknown to web users. This talk is about our experiences of helping Swedish municipalities get out of the bad cycle of tracking. It will also explain how data protection can be both a common responsibility, but even more a common good.
We have compiled technical advice based on our experiences of finding privacy-preserving strategies in web development.
Anders Jensen-Urstad has long-standing experience of web-development, and Amelia Andersdotter has worked in Brussels for many years with the politics of data protection.
Dataskydd.NET is a Swedish organisation registered in 2015. Prior to official registration Dataskydd.NET has been the only Swedish language website posting continuous updates on the European data protection reform since autumn 2012. Dataskydd.NET works to promote data protection and privacy in law, as well as in technologies.
