Debbie Reynolds “The Data Diva” talks to Tom Kemp, Silicon Valley-based Entrepreneur, Seed/Angel Investor, Policy Advisor, and Author. We discuss a range of topics related to privacy and emerging technology. We discuss the difference between cybersecurity and privacy and the need for a federal privacy law that harmonizes the language and definitions of personal data. We also discuss the societal impact of data management and the need to protect civil rights, the economy, and democracy.

The conversation then turns to the urgent need for privacy rights and the challenges of protecting personal data in the age of AI and big tech. We highlight the concerns around the weaponization of data and the creation of a digital caste system and the need for laws to give people privacy rights, including the right to know what's being collected, the right to say no to collection and selling, the right to correct, and the right to delete. Finally, they discuss the broader need for the Global Privacy Control (GPC) and Universal Opt-Out signals to address consumer privacy concerns. We agree that companies should pay close attention to GPC and respect the opt-out signal to avoid potential legal issues. Additionally, we emphasize the importance of privacy practitioners ensuring that their businesses are not exposed to the risks associated with third-party pixels. We end by discussing the importance of work in addressing privacy issues, the need to communicate these issues to a wider audience, and his hope for Data Privacy in the future.
