Redressing Privacy Violations

Privacy Redress Options Workshop

On December 10, 2020, the University of Washington Tech Policy Lab, in partnership with Microsoft, hosted a workshop on options for privacy redress. Based on a set of four hypothetical enforcement approaches for a federal privacy law, the organizers invited participants representing different perspectives—industry, academia, civil society, and government—to come together to compare and contrast various remedies, mechanisms, and components of privacy redress. The ultimate goal of the workshop was to leverage expertise to help Congress and stakeholders move past privacy legislation gridlock.
