The Technology of Privacy: When Geeks Meet Wonks


Our privacy online depends a lot on the technology we use. So what better way to mark Data Privacy Day than to hear the latest in technology and policy from the people who have a deep understanding of how information gets transmitted and protected online?

Come to Google’s Washington, DC offices for a panel discussion about how privacy affects technology and vice versa. This discussion won’t linger on policy alone. Instead, it will focus on engineering and the mechanics behind the best practices of online privacy.
