How to unlock valuable personal data for analysis: Shedding light on the byzantine world of privacy-enhancing technology

Abstract

Lisa Martin

University of Oxford

At the heart of privacy-preserving data analysis lies a fundamental paradox: privacy preservation aims to hide, while data analysis aims to reveal. The two concepts may seem completely irreconcilable at first, but – using the right approach – they need not be.

Our Data Strategist Lisa Martin spent two months researching this topic extensively, conducting interviews with industry experts and Startups alike. In this talk, Lisa will share her insights, and we invite you to join us in discussing one of the most pressing issues of the 21st century: data privacy.
