SCOPE
======

DPM is an annual international workshop covering research in data
privacy management. Organizations are increasingly concerned about the
privacy of information that they manage (as witnessed, for example, by
lawsuits filed against organizations for violating the privacy of
customer's data). Thus, the management of privacy-sensitive
information is very critical and important for every organization.

This poses several challenging problems, such as how to translate the
high-level business goals into system-level privacy policies,
administration of privacy-sensitive data, privacy preserving data
integration and engineering, privacy preserving access control
mechanisms, information-oriented security, and query execution on
privacy-sensitive data for partial answers. Starting from these
observations, the aim of DPM is to discuss and exchange ideas related
to data privacy management. We invite papers from researchers and
practitioners working in privacy, security, trustworthy data systems
and related areas to submit their original papers in this workshop.
Submissions by PhD students as well as controversial ideas are
encouraged. Case studies (successful or not) are also encouraged.

format, including the bibliography and well-marked appendices. Short
papers should be at most 8 pages in the LNCS format, including the

not required to read the appendices, so papers should be intelligible
without them.

Authors should indicate whether their paper is a short paper to
differentiate them from full papers. All submissions must be written
in English. It is planned to have accepted papers published by
Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series, the
LNCS template can be found at:

Submission should be done through the ESORICS 2026 Easychair:

 https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=esorics2026

and the select the track: 21st International Workshop on Data Privacy Management.

Only PDF files will be accepted (a Latex source file will be required
for the final version of the accepted papers). All papers will be
refereed. Submissions are not anonymous (single blind review).
Accepted papers must be presented at the Workshop. At least one author
of each accepted paper must register to the workshop, by the early
date indicated by the organizers, and present the paper.
