Posted by Information Technology Services on January 18, 2013 in General Announcements

Does identity theft concern you?  What about the other digital footprints we are leaving in the form of social media posts, purchase histories, and even medical records?   Where are we headed with privacy and can, or should, we do anything?

Join us for Data Privacy Day, January 30, 2013, 12:00 - 4:30 p.m. McInnes Room, SUB as Dalhousie University will again be hosting a half-day conference focusing on topics for data privacy and protection.
