Data Privacy Legal Hackathon


A Data Privacy Legal Hackathon is being held in NYC Feb 8-9.

Here are details:

"The Legal Hackers community invites you to compete in a 24-hour hackathon to create tools that solve common legal problems in the field of data privacy.

2013 was a landmark year in the public's awareness of problems in data privacy. Edward Snowden, revenge porn, do-not-track, COPPA, and a few other key phrases come to mind. The new issues surrounding data privacy seem to steadily increase as the Internet of things continues to grow.

Legal hackers across the country have addressed data-privacy problems but have yet to develop actual tools to effectively address them. Join us and 100 fellow legal hackers in New York City as we compete to concept and deliver these tools under extreme time constraints."
