ISLE OF MAN Data Protection Supervisor Iain McDonald will address the local branch of the Institute of Chartered Secretaries (ICSA) on March 7 as part of their regular series of events.
At the event, sponsored by Appleby Isle of Man, Mr McDonald will explore the challenges and threats that technology in particular poses to privacy and how these are starting to be addressed.
