We Need to Talk - Dark Patterns – the Hidden Side of Data Collection
Dark patterns are design tactics built into apps and platforms that push us towards choices we may not intend. From endless opt-in prompts to confusing unsubscribe flows, these patterns often exist to maximise data collection at the expense of user choice.
In the era of AI and big data, these tactics are becoming increasingly prevalent.
Coffee and Collaboration - 7th October 2pm
In this Coffee and Collaboration session, we’ll unpack what I learned from the Open Data Institute’s recent webinar and explore:
- What the European Data Protection Board’s guidelines say about deceptive design
- How GDPR and the new EU Data Act frame responsibilities for businesses
- The ethical questions professionals should be asking about data collection
- The role of data broker agencies and why they matter to organisations and individuals
We’ll also share practical steps you can take to protect yourself and your business, including how to spot dark patterns and avoid unintentional consent.
This is an open and informal discussion over coffee with professionals from a diverse range of sectors. Bring your experiences, questions and curiosity. The goal is to leave with a clearer understanding and simple actions you can put into practice.
