This is a meeting for privacy minded people in San Francisco. January 28th is International Data Privacy Day, a fitting time to host the first in what we hope will be an ongoing series of Privacy Lab Meetups in the Bay Area.

At this meeting our speaker will be Cooper Quintin from the EFF, who will present "A State of the Union for Privacy and Consumer Protection and Wishlist for 2015". His presentation will be preceded by 30 minutes of socializing as people arrive, and then followed by about an hour for general questions, interactions, discussion and networking. Additionally the event will be held at Mozilla's San Francisco office, where developers of the Firefox browser can more easily join.

Our aim is to include and bring together privacy professionals and others interested in privacy at for-profits, non-profits, and NGOs in an effort to contribute to the state of the ecosystem for privacy. By attending you'll be able to hear about what other people and organizations are working on and how to get involved.

We hope to see you attend and become part of the growing community of privacy advocates in San Francisco.
