On January 28th, 2025, the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario hosted another successful event for International Data Privacy Day. We were immensely grateful to be joined by some of North America's leading experts for an in-depth and thought-provoking panel discussion. The event focused on privacy enhancing technologies (PETs): what they are, what benefits they offer, and how they can be adopted to help address some of the most pressing privacy and data issues facing organizations today. 

Key areas for discussion included:

  • A primer on the different kinds of privacy enhancing technologies 
  • A discussion of the comparative advantages and disadvantages of each  
  • How privacy enhancing technologies are being applied in practice across various sectors
  • The promise and perils of privacy enhancing technologies from an opportunity, risk, and reputational perspective 
  • How modern privacy laws are beginning to incorporate concepts of deidentification and anonymization
