Offer HN: In SF, want to talk about privacy?

Anyone want to chat about the importance of privacy to the startup? I'm going to be at RSA in San Francisco (Feb 27-Mar 2) working the booth for my employer (https://privacyassociation.org). As it turns out it looks like I don't need to be in the booth until 11am each day which gives me the mornings free.

I typically present on why privacy matters to information security folks (at large companies) but I've been thinking more and more about how a basic understanding of the privacy space could be used to significant advantage by consumer facing startups. I blogged about it yesterday (http://jnorthrop.me/2012/02/8/privacy-done-wrong-so-many-missed-opportunites/), which usually flushes the issue from my consciousness but I can't get it out of my mind.

I look at the hoopla around Path and Pinterest this week and think how easily the bad PR could have been avoided. Then I notice time after time in "Show HN" posts how these sites don't even have the most basic of privacy policies. Pile on top of that the FTC settlements with Google and Facebook last year as well as the serious moves from the EU, FTC and Department of Commerce to restrict what companies can do and I want to scream from the mountain tops, "Is anyone paying attention to all of this!"

So, I'm offering my time, for free, to anyone relatively close to the Moscone Center that wants to talk about this. I'd love to share what I know and provide my perspective, but I also want to learn if what I'm feeling so strongly makes any sense.

Oh, and if you're at RSA come find me at the IAPP and we can chat there as well.

edit: I should add that you should feel free to contact me directly at the email address in my profile.
