The Case Files of Privacy Gone Wrong
Real-World Lessons from Everyday Data MistakesEvery privacy incident has a story.
In this interactive workshop, participants will review a series of real-world inspired privacy case files, examining what occurred, how the situations were handled, and what steps could have been taken to prevent the issue in the first place.
Through guided discussion, audience polling, and analysis of each case, attendees will explore key lessons learned, gain practical strategies for safeguarding university information, and better understand how to recognize and respond to potential privacy concerns before they escalate into data incidents.
Held in recognition of Data Privacy Day, observed annually on January 28, this workshop offers an opportunity to reflect on the importance of privacy, strengthen data protection practices, and promote a culture of responsible information stewardship across the university.
Who should attend: Faculty, staff, researchers, and anyone who works with university data. Whether you regularly handle student, employee, research, or operational information, this workshop will provide valuable takeaways that you can apply immediately in your role.
