This roundtable discussion will explore how organizations can leverage privacy-enhancing technologies to meet the requirements of data protection laws. We will discuss the potential benefits of using encryption, tokenization, pseudonymization, and data minimization to ensure compliance with these regulations. We will also discuss the challenges of implementing such technologies and explore potential solutions. This roundtable aims to identify best practices for organizations to use privacy-enhancing technologies to ensure compliance with data protection laws.

PETs have the potential to unlock trustworthy data-driven innovation across sectors. However, there remain challenges to their adoption including regulatory challenges, technical expertise and how to embed them in good organisational practice. In this session, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the Royal Society and the Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation (CDEI) invite you to join a discussion on the challenges to lowering barriers to PETs adoption.

Attendees will be presented with a series of often-faced technical, organisational and cultural challenges that potential PETs adopters may encounter and discuss best practices for mitigating them. We are keen to hear perspectives from attendees about other potential challenges they have faced and suggestions for how the government and regulators can support PETs adoption.

The ICO, Royal Society and CDEI will also showcase the role of governments and public-private partnerships in this space. They will also look at how the UK government is leveraging PETs in practice, through new international initiatives, and policy and regulatory efforts.

Senior Policy Adviser for Data and Digital Technologies
The Royal Society

Dr. June Brawner is a policy advisor at The Royal Society, the UK’s national academy of sciences. She leads the Society’s work on Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) within the Data and AI policy team, which is developing policy and promoting debate that helps the UK safely and rapidly realise the growing benefits of data science and digital technologies.

June’s career in academic and policy research spans the US, UK, and Central / Eastern Europe, with a focus on environmental data for policymaking.  Prior to her current role she worked as a research consultant and has previously completed fellowships with the Fulbright Commission and Columbia University’s Council for European Studies.

As an anthropologist, June is especially interested in the ‘social life’ of data: the cultural and political factors that hinder or promote the equitable use of data for research, innovation, and decision-making. To this end, she sees upholding the right to privacy as a key technical and social challenge in using data for societal benefit.
