Lorene Novakowski and Alex Cameron, members of the firm's Privacy and Information Protection Group will be presenting a seminar titled "Socializing Your Business: Privacy Issues of Social Media" at the IAPP Canada Privacy Symposium 2010.

Social media is becoming an integral part of business in both the private and public sectors, influencing employees and management, and influencing consumer decisions and opinions. New applications are introduced daily. Existing applications like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn are constantly evolving, providing new opportunities as well as new privacy challenges. So how do you know how to appropriately leverage these new technologies? What constitutes reasonable collection, use and disclosure of personal information from social media sites? Should an employer permit its employees to 'recommend' others on LinkedIn? Using real world case studies, learn what other companies are doing with social media and the privacy issues it can raise, including smart management of employee use of social media.
