Discussion on Global Privacy Standards Happened at the Second Japanese Privacy Forum
The Foundation for Privacy and Technology (FPF) hosted the second annual Japan Privacy Symposium on November 25, 2024, at the Ritz-Carlton in Tokyo, Japan. This global event brought together commissioners from various data protection authorities, academics, civil society, government officials, and industry leaders to discuss upcoming regulatory priorities for data protection.
The symposium, which took place on the sidelines of the 62nd Asia-Pacific Privacy Authorities (APPA) Forum, provided a valuable forum for commissioners from around the globe to share their perspectives with privacy leaders and community members. The event was supported by S&K Brussels LPC and in cooperation with the Personal Information Protection Commission of Japan (PPC) and the Japan DPO Association.
Notable participants included Philippe Dufresne, Commissioner, Office of the Privacy Commissioner, Canada; Ashkan Soltani, Executive Director, California Privacy Protection Agency; Nazri Kama, Commissioner, Personal Data Protection Department of Malaysia; Thienchai Na Nakorn, Chairman, Personal Data Protection Committee, Thailand; and Josh Lee Kok Thong, Managing Director for APAC, FPF. Gabriela Zanfir-Fortuna, FPF's Vice President for Global Privacy, expressed excitement about the successful second edition of the symposium.
The Foundation for Privacy and Technology focuses on evaluating the societal, policy, and legal implications of data use. FPF believes that technology and data can benefit society and improve lives with the right laws, policies, and rules. The organisation aims to identify risks and develop appropriate protections for data use.
The symposium was a testament to FPF's commitment to fostering open dialogue and collaboration on data protection issues. Commissioner OHSHIMA Shuhei opened the symposium with a keynote speech, setting the tone for a day filled with insightful discussions and meaningful exchanges.
