The PII Problem: Privacy and a New Concept of Personally Identifiable Information
January 5, 2012Microsoft Innovation & Policy Center
Washington, D.C.
Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is one of the most central concepts in information privacy regulation, but there is no uniform definition of it. Moreover, the US and European Union approach this topic in different ways. Finally, computer science has shown that PII and non-PII are not immutable categories. On January 5, 2012, Professors Paul Schwartz and Daniel Solove will present their new paper, the PII Problem: Privacy and a New Concept of Personally Identifiable Information, which discusses personally identifiable information and proposes a concept entitled "PII 2.0." A panel discussion will follow.
This event is co-sponsored by the Microsoft Innovation & Policy Center, BCLT and the George Washington University Law School.
