Committee on Data Privacy Law and Regulation

The Data Science Association Committee on Data Privacy Law and Regulation is seeking members to join us to help guide and influence the next generation of law and regulation for big data, data privacy, algorithms, machine learning, and more. Our goal is to protect personal data privacy from both government and business while keeping the significant benefits of big data.
