Formerly: BUA5314G, DSE5315G, and DSA5300
This course introduces students to the fundamental concepts capturing legal rights and responsibilities associated with data capture, storage and leveraging data for decision-making. Given the very diverse mix of topics falling under this broad umbrella, the aim of the course is to provide a general overview of the applicable aspects of the US regulatory and legislative framework, and then to offer more topically-focused overview of the key notions falling within the following areas: operational and experiential aspects of data governance and differential privacy, data-capture related rights and responsibilities, data governance design and management, data security and privacy, information quality, and the ethical aspects of data access, usage, and sharing.

Prerequisite(s): DSE 5001 and DSE 5002 , or CSC 6003
