PRE-CONFERENCE SESSION - PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED

To serve Texans, our governmental entities must collect, process, and store significant amounts of personal information. We have both legal and ethical obligations to ensure that data is used consistent with privacy laws and our constituents’ expectations. This privacy-focused session will address basic privacy fundamentals and best practices; how to train employees to better protect personal information; what to include in a privacy notice; and the requirements governmental entities must comply with when collecting, processing, and storing personal information. Seasoned Privacy Officers from some of Texas’ larger agencies will share their experiences in developing privacy programs and evaluating new projects and technology to consider privacy risks. Attendees will have an opportunity to network with—and learn from—privacy professionals from other governmental entities across the state.
