Privacy Week 2022 was held 9 - 14 May 2022. This year, the theme is Privacy: The Foundation of Trust.
In the spirit of trust, this year tried something new. We worked with our community to put on a whole week of virtual events and activities. A Privacy Festival, if you will.
This flexible format meant more space for different types of events on any topic related to privacy and trust. We believe the best conversations happen at the intersections of different sectors and experiences, where everyone has something to teach and to learn.We’d also like to spend some time listening to other people’s experiences of privacy to help shape our future work.
View the programme for Privacy Week 2022 below. All OPC hosted events have been recorded and are available to watch below. If other events hosted outside of OPC have been recorded, they will be available to watch below.
In this ever changing and exciting world, privacy is identified to be one of the biggest global trends influencing our society. Customer expectations are changing and many organisations are embedding privacy into product design, business processes, and corporate strategies. The focus is shifting from questions of legal compliance to questions of customer experience, with customer choice and trust at the heart.
A panel session to discuss moving from compliance to building customer trust.

IGO’s operate in terms of international law rather than national laws or regional laws like GDPR. Join us for this Panel Discussion on the challenges IGO's face when implementing data protection INSIDE the IGO's, in their relationships and interactions with those OUTSIDE IGO's and when dealing with how the approach to data protection is different from what many expect which at first may seem to be UPSIDE down, but which is driven by and consistent with international law and the purpose and nature of IGO's.
