October is a great month for many things and we want to make sure that cyber security is one of them! ECSM [1] is the EU’s annual awareness campaign that takes place each October across Europe. The aim is to raise awareness of cyber security threats, promote cyber security among citizens and organizations; and provide resources to protect themselves online, through education and sharing of good practices. We are glad to have the Google Safety Engineering Center in Munich [2] contributing to this cause and willing to share their expertise with us. Join us! Agenda Talk 1: Data Retention in Practice Building products that put privacy and security first and handle user data with profound respect is essential to earn user trust. In this talk we will discuss how to collect and how long to store user data to be respectful to the users and comply with applicable rules. We will present some best practices, tips, and tools that we use at Google on a daily basis. Talk 2: Building Privacy for the User Building efficient privacy tools is essential in order to meet the user's expectations and provide them with control over their data. Because of this, it's extremely important to design privacy products in a way that fulfills the needs of the users and provides them positive value. In this talk we'll go through the history behind some of Google's main privacy products, describing some of the processes through which we design and develop them.
