Yes. I was at an international conference of privacy and data protection commissioners, in October actually, on current issues or upcoming issues with respect to privacy. The issue of big data was among those discussed, and also the privacy implications of the Internet, which also raises issues with respect to big data analytics. We are in contact with other privacy commissioners, or what are known in other countries as “data protection authorities”, to follow trends and discuss these issues so that we can recommend as good a protection as possible for individuals.
