Privacy Salon

Overview
The Privacy Salon is a non-profit organisation founded in 2014. The Privacy Salon aims at sensibilising and critically informing the broader public, policy makers and industry in Belgium, Europe and beyond about privacy, data protection and other social and ethical issues that are arising with the introduction of new technologies in society. In addition, it contributes to policy, policy-making and evaluation of privacy and data protection policy by ways of consultancy for policy makers, industry and research institutions, but also to scientific and policy-oriented research on privacy, data protection and social-ethical consequences of new technologies.

The Privacy Salon co-organises the annual "Computers, Privacy and Data Protection" ("CPDP") conference, as well as numerous other public events focusing on legal and societal issues posed by current and future technologies, including an annual art exhibition.
