Speaker:
Dr Benjamin Michael Clubbs Coldron, Research Fellow, University of Stirling
Dr Clubbs Coldron will provide an overview of the relationship between wearables, privacy, and data protection. Drawing from a pragmatic approach, which combines doctrinal legal research with empirical methods, he will explore some of the tensions and uncertainties surrounding privacy rights in the wearable technology industry. We will examine the phenomenon of “invisible” fashion technology and its implications for continuing consent and non-user privacy, highlighting the potential for privacy-intrusive technologies to become more prevalent in the fashion sector.
