Talk to a Diplomat: Interview with Dr. Ann Cavoukian Part II

We’re back!

Listen as I interview Dr. Ann Cavoukian. She is the Executive Director of the Privacy and Big Data Institute at Ryerson University. Dr. Ann Cavoukian was the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario from 1997 to 2014. She is recognized as one of the world’s leading privacy experts. She is presently the Executive Director of the Privacy and Big Data Institute at Ryerson University. Appointed as the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario, Canada in 1997, Dr. Cavoukian served an unprecedented three terms as Commissioner. There she created Privacy by Design (PbD), a framework that seeks to proactively embed privacy into the design specifications of information technologies, networked infrastructure and business practices, thereby achieving the strongest protection possible. Since then, Privacy by Design has been translated into 38 languages.
