Just a brief blog to highlight three short (very good) videos (two minutes each) and a news item that explore common problems associated with privacy policies.
• The first clip is “If your APP was a shop assistant”; it is in Danish with subtitles (so if you watched ‘The Killing’, ‘The Bridge’ or ‘Wallander’ you will have no problem)”: http://www.consumersinternational.org/news-and-media/news/2015/01/dcc-video-launch-digital-privacy/
• The second one I have entitled “I really like that free phone APP.....”; it is particularly relevant to those who tick T&Cs without thinking (and that’s about everybody): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcjtEKNP05c
• We are all gobsmacked by the “mind-games” of Darren Brown; so watch an amazing Svengali at work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7pYHN9iC9I
• Finally, a news item from the BBC about a TV that records your conversations in the home; http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-31296188
For chilling out why not listen to (and follow Amberhawk on) https://soundcloud.com/amberhawk; I particularly like “Project Not Today”.
Finally, just to remind readers we have courses leading to the BCS Practitioner Qualification in DP and FOI. Our standard DP starts in Leeds (22 April); the next intensive DP course starts in Edinburgh (9 March); the next intensive FOI course leading to this qualification starts in Leeds (23 February 2015). Finally, the next BCS Foundation Qualification is in London on March 16, 17 and 18.
Enjoy
