The Journal of Legal Studies is holding a conference at the University of Chicago titled "Contracting Over Privacy" on October 16 & 17. The conference features an all-star lineup. Here's the conference blurb:

Are private contracts an efficient regulatory tool of data privacy? Should the law incorporate mandatory protections, not waivable by consumers? Can disclosures effectively inform consumers about firms’ data practices?
