Privacy Bootcamp for App Developers

#sxsw #bootcamp

RSVP Required - The current patchwork of international, national, and state privacy laws is a mystery to developers, especially those at startups with just a few employees. Most simply do what they think makes sense, bury their heads in the sand, and hope that everything works out.
It’s not working out. According to recent accounts, 75 PERCENT of all mobile apps do not even publish privacy policies. While most developers want to do right by their customers, they rarely have the knowledge or resources to navigate privacy regulations and terms of service correctly.
This workshop will attempt to give app developers (and those who work with them) all the tools they need to draft a legitimate privacy policy and start implementing privacy by design within their development cycles. This workshop will also help developers identify potential pitfalls that may put them in jeopardy with their customers and the law.

Prerequisites:
None.

What to Bring:
A laptop or tablet with keyboard.
