EDiscoveryMap is pleased to announce that Monique Altheim will moderate E-Discovery Sessions at the Computers, Privacy & Data Protection Conference (CPDP) in Brussels on January 26, 2012.

The panels will feature an international roster of thought leaders and practitioners in the field of Cross-Border E-Discovery and EU Data Protection:

Willem DEBEUCKELAERE, Privacy Commission (BE), Master Steven WHITAKER, Royal Court of Justice (UK), Chris DALE, e-Disclosure Information Project (UK), Amor ESTEBAN, Shook, Hardy & Bacon, LLP (USA), James DALEY, Daley & Fey LLP (USA), Nigel MURRAY, Huron Legal (UK), George RUDOY, Integrated Legal Technology LLC (USA), Monika KUSCHEWSKY, Van Bael & Bellis (BE), Natascha GERLACH, Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton (BE), Dr. David EVANS, Evans LLC (USA), Dominic JAAR, KPMG (CA), and Erik LUYSTERBORG, Deloitte (BE)

With the increased globalization of the economy, companies in the EU are often subject to litigation holds and requests for production of relevant data by US litigants. If those data contain personal information, there is a serious conflict with the EU Data Protection Laws, which deem preservation and production of such data in principle illegal.

Since the concept of pre-trial discovery is practically non-existent in the European Union member states with a Civil Code tradition, the session will start with a discussion of the general principles of the U.S procedure of discovery of electronically stored information (ESI) in civil litigation, for the benefit of EU attendees.

What triggers the duty to preserve data relevant to litigation? What are litigation holds? What is spoliation? What are the sanctions for non-compliant parties? These are some of the topics that will be addressed.

What happens when the data, relevant to U.S. litigation, contain personal information and are located in an EEA member state?

The second panel will explore these complicated conflicts between U.S. Ediscovery obligations and EEA Data Protection obligations and propose some practical solutions.

The just published Sedona Conference International Principles on Disclosure and Data Protection, as well as the draft EC Proposal for a Data Protection Regulation, and their impact on the future of Cross-Border Ediscovery will be discussed.

What technological innovations can be applied to minimize the personal data preserved and collected in EAA member states?

What happens when relevant data are located in the cloud, on social media sites or on mobile devices? Which national law applies to determine the applicable data protection regime?

These and other emerging topics in cross-border Ediscovery will be tackled by the last panel.

The CPDP Conference, titled “European Data Protection: Coming of Age” will run from Wednesday, January 25 until Friday, January 27. It will coincide with the official publication of the EC’s Proposal for EU Data Protection Regulation and with the European Privacy Day on January 28.

To take advantage of the early bird registration fee , register here before December 30.

Which professional has not entertained the wish to stay informed and in the loop, without having to spend hours of valuable time scouring the Internet for relevant information on a daily basis?

The daily load of professional newsletters, email subscriptions, RSS feeds, real time Twitter feeds, Facebook news streams, and now Google plus feeds, has become so heavy, that many have expressed the desire to go on an information diet.

I too have suffered from information overload, and in searching for a solution, I stumbled upon a very simple answer: I developed my personal mobile, information management tool in the form of an iPhone/iPad mobile app, which I use on my iPhone.

The “AltheimLaw” app is custom made for my needs and delivers real-time news from a variety of hand-picked sources, including social media sites, video and slide presentation sites, as well as more traditional RSS feeds of news aggregator blogs.

This particular app can, of course, also be installed by anyone who shares my interest in the very specific topics of e-discovery, data protection, privacy, social media, tech and information governance. I also created an Android version for those who use that platform under the name “Monique Altheim Esq.”.

 

But if you wish to create your own, custom made app to suit your own specific needs, and if you would like to publish it to any of  the IPhone/iPad, or Android platforms, you can do so, without knowing a word of code.

 

The entire process takes just three steps:

 

  1. Register as a “developer”
  2. Build your app
  3. Publish your app

 

 

Here’s a breakdown of the three steps for two popular mobile platforms: The iPhone/iPad, and the Android .

 

  1. Register as a developer:

 

The first step is to register as a “developer”. This will grant you permission to submit your app to the relevant store.

 

Requirements for iPhone/iPad:

 

Requirements for Android:

 

  2. Build your app:

 

Building an app is very easy, even if one doesn’t know a word of code, thanks to websites like www.appmakr.com

Just click on the “get started building your … version” on appmkr’s home page. You will see three icons, respectively for Apple, Android and Windows. Just click on the one you need.

You  may enter a keyword to start, so that Appmakr can find related icons and RSS feeds for your app, but you can disregard its suggestions and skip this step. It is better to use your own icons and RSS feeds.

The website basically gives you a template to work with, which it then translates into code.

Appmakr has a YouTube site where you can watch 13 instructional videos on how to buid an iPhone /iPad app, guiding you step by step through the creation of your app: http://www.youtube.com/user/AppMakr#p/u

You can test-publish your app to your iPhone to check out whether you like the end product, before you publish it to the App Store.

 

Once you have finished building your app, you will be able to download the file on your computer.

 

TIP 1: You will need some basic knowledge of Photoshop or other similar software to adapt your screenshots to the different size requirements for the iPhone and iPad.

The iPhone/iPad and Android have each different image size and file type requirements for the icons and screen shots. For example, the iPhone icon must be 512×512 pixels in .png format.

 

TIP 2:  Safari cannot download the appmakr files. I used Firefox instead.

 

If you wish to make the app available for devices using Android, you can transfer the app into the Android (as well as Windows) format by clicking on the appropriate icon underneath your finished iPhone app link.

 

 

  3. Publish your app

 

iPhone/iPad

 

To publish your app, go to https://itunesconnect.apple.com and click on “Manage Your Applications”. Then click on “Add New App” in the upper left hand corner and follow the instructions.

You should download the “application downloader” software (the link should be on the iTunesConnect site), install it, and then download your app in that program.

When you go back to your iTunesConnect account, you will see that the status of your app is “Waiting for Review”. In the next stage your app will be ”In Review”, until, hopefully, the status will read “Ready for Sale”, at which point your app should be searchable and ready for installation in the App Store.

The entire process takes between one or two weeks.

 

Android

 

To publish your Android version, go to https://market.android.com/publish/Home

Follow the instructions to upload your app file. It is as easy as uploading a YouTube file. Within an hour your app will be for sale and downloadable on the Android market.

 

As between the iPhone/oPad and the Android platforms, the clear winner is Android: It has a much lower registration fee and the publishing of the app is a breeze.

Either way, when you think of the many hours you will save by cutting out most of the noise online through the use your app, it is worth the registration fee and the afternoon you might spend creating it.

While there are other sites that will help you build your own app, Appmakr is the only one that offers it at no fee.

 

It is also important to update your app regularly, to keep it compatible with changes on the platform. When Apple updated its IOS to IOS5, I had to rebuild my iPhone/iPad App from scratch.

 

Since my law firm focuses on ediscovery, privacy and data protection, social media and information governance, these are the topics that are covered in my app.

If you want to keep informed on these topics, you can download the “AltheimLaw” app for iPhone/iPad here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/monique-altheim-esq/id454018900?ls=1&mt=8 and the “Monique Altheim Esq” app for Android here: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.appmakr.app296991

 

Once you install such an app on your mobile device, the latest real-time news that is relevant to you is always available at the click of a finger, during your commute or while waiting online at the post office or the supermarket, during a quick lunch break, before falling asleep or upon waking up in the morning.

At the 33rd International Conference of Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners, (CDPP), held in Mexico City on November 2 and 3, Yoram Hacohen, Head of Israeli Law, Information and Technology Authority (ILITA) and Ariel Shoham, Deputy Head of the Enforcement Department of ILITA, held a private briefing, where they explained how they cracked the biggest privacy breach case that ever occurred in Israel.

Just a week earlier,on Monday, October 24, ILITA (The Istraeli Law, Information and Technology Authority in the Israeli Ministry of Justice), Israel’s Data Protection Authority, had made the following announcement on its website::

“ILITA (The Israeli Law, Information and Technology Authority in the Israeli Ministry of Justice), Israel’s Data Protection Authority, has cracked the case involving the theft of Israel’s Population Registry, the development of bespoke search and navigation software, and their dissemination online.

 ILITA’s investigation revealed that in 2006, an individual outsourcing service provider to the Ministry of Welfare and Social Services downloaded and stored at his home a complete electronic copy of Israel’s Population Registry, which contains numerous data fields such as full name, identification number, address, date of birth, date of death, date of immigration to Israel, family ties etc. for more than 9 million Israeli citizens, including minors and the deceased.

The suspect disseminated to a third party a copy of the database, which subsequently reached a software developer who developed a program called “Agron 2006” to enable users to run complex searches and queries on the data, including navigating among family ties of the entire Israeli population. The “Agron” software was then cracked and eventually uploaded by a hacker to online peer to peer networks and disseminated worldwide. The hacker went further to create a website promoting the download and use of “Agron”, while implementing sophisticated means, such as proxy servers and purging of traces on his computer, to conceal his identity and try to evade Israeli jurisdiction .”

In this video, filmed by this author during the briefing at the CDPP Conference ,Yoram Hacohen, Head of ILITA and Ariel Shoham, Deputy Head of the Enforcement Department of ILITA, explain how they cracked the biggest ever Israeli privacy breach case.

They started by mapping the entire information infrastructure of the Ministry of Interior, where the breach had occurred, to understand the information flow. ILITA’s forensic lab then retrieved sixty five terabytes of information from diverse sources, most of which were obtained with court orders. Over 135,000 phone calls, 111 external hard drives, 3,232 CD’s, 25 desktops, 13 laptops, 15 USB drives, 45 internal HDs and 25 mobile phones were analyzed.

Watch this fascinating briefing to find out how the investigation led to the unmasking and arrest of six suspects and how one fatal “mistake” by the hacker who published the registry online led to his discovery.
