Informacijski pooblaščenec Republike Slovenije (IP) je v tednu od 20. do 24. aprila 2026 aktivno sodeloval na mednarodni konferenci Privacy Symposium v Benetkah, ki velja za eno najpomembnejših evropskih strokovnih srečanj s področja varstva osebnih podatkov in zasebnosti. Letošnja konferenca je na Univerzi Ca' Foscari združila več kot 400 strokovnjakov iz vse Evrope in sveta ter ponudila preko 100 strokovnih sej s področja varstva osebnih podatkov, umetne inteligence in digitalnih pravic.

Informacijska pooblaščenka dr. Jelena Virant Burnik je v četrtek, 23. aprila, sodelovala kot govorka na panelu „ Age Assurance in Practice «, posvečenem zagotavljanju ustrezne starosti pri dostopu do digitalnih storitev. Panel je obravnaval sorazmerne in zasebnosti prijazne pristope k preverjanju starosti na spletu ter regulatorne vidike nadzora na tem področju. Informacijska pooblaščenka je s svojim nastopom pomembno prispevala k mednarodni izmenjavi izkušenj o tem hitro razvijajočem se področju.

Namestnik informacijske pooblaščenke mag. Andrej Tomšič je v petek, 24. aprila, sodeloval na panelu „ Privacy and Compliance-Enhancing Technologies from DPAs: Tools that Help «, posvečenem digitalnim orodjem nadzornih organov za podporo podjetjem pri izpolnjevanju obveznosti, ki izhajajo iz prava varstva osebnih podatkov ter ozaveščanju javnosti o pravicah posameznikov. Predstavil je konkretne rešitve IP in poudaril pomen dostopnih orodij za vzpostavljanje kulture varstva osebnih podatkov, tudi v praksi podjetij.

Na razstavnem področju konference v Atriju Scuola Grande di San Giovanni Evangelista je IP od 22. do 24. aprila zastopal svetovalec za mednarodne odnose Grega Rudolf s projektom „ Become a PrivacyPRO(tector) «, sofinanciranim v okviru programa EU CERV 2021–2027. Projekt je namenjen ozaveščanju otrok, učiteljev in staršev o pravicah s področja varstva osebnih podatkov. Obiskovalci so si lahko ogledali našo družabno igro, stripe, izobraževalne videoposnetke in druge materiale za otroke med 6 in 14 letom, razstava pa je spodbudila živahno izmenjavo izkušenj med strokovnjaki iz vse Evrope.

Udeležba na konferenci Privacy Symposium 2026 potrjuje zavezanost IP k aktivnemu mednarodnemu sodelovanju in izmenjavi znanja na področju varstva osebnih podatkov in digitalnih pravic.
