What is the Price of your Privacy?
Your behaviour is analysed by every online purchase on Amazon, every search on Google or transaction with your credit card. Companies continuously collect data with every click you make and every cookie that you accept. What do they do with these data? Is access to the location of your phone really needed for the application you want to use? The line of privacy can easily be crossed. In today’s world, everybody faces a trade-off between privacy and convenience that is barely talked or thought about in everyday life.
In tonight´s Debate Café we are going to discuss about governance surveillance, data breaches, the role and responsibilities of companies, technological developments, the good side of data collection and data science, what you yourself can do about your privacy and much more.
So, join this diverse Debate Café on the price of your privacy and discuss with the expert panel about these issues!
