The Privacy + Security Forum breaks down the silos of privacy and security by bringing together seasoned thought leaders from multiple industries for in-depth conversations. Interactive sessions and workshops will deliver practical takeaways on stepping up privacy and security practices for all participants whether they are seasoned privacy professionals, attorneys, or policymakers.

The “Beware the Dark [Patterns] Side” panel will dive into the weeds of the real-world difficulties of building new products that also prioritize compliance and data ethics. In addition to Canfarotta, other panelists include Dona Fraser, Director at CARU, BBB National Programs, and Kathy Carpenter, Senior Attorney, Privacy & Data Security from Pokémon Company International.

“We’re looking forward to bringing our expertise in online identity verification technologies to the community developing products and games for children on the internet,” said Tom Canfarotta.

“As new technologies develop, the technologies used to verify parental consent for online programs targeting children must keep up to keep children safe online. We’re looking forward to discussing the innovative ways we can achieve and track Verified Parental Consent through data and biometrics that prioritize privacy with minimal added friction.”
