30th International Conference of Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners

Data Protection Authorities from every continent gathered in Strasbourg last week to participate in the 30th International Conference of Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners (www.privacyconference2008.org). The theme of this year’s conference was “protecting privacy in a borderless world”. One conclusion from this meeting was to endorse a resolution brought forward by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada that called for an international effort to protect the privacy of children online.
