Archive episode [Season 1 Episode 3]: Challenges and pitfalls of data privacy during the pandemic (Part 1)

In the first instalment of a two-part episode, we have a special guest, Andrew Dyson, managing partner for DLA Piper's Leeds office. Andrew is also Global Co-Chair of DLA Piper’s Data Protection, Privacy and Security Group, Editorial Board Member for the Journal of Data Protection & Privacy, and Visiting Research Fellow in Applied Ethics at the IDEA Centre.

Gabriela and Andrew discuss two issues: 'teleworking' and coronavirus mobile apps. Their discussion reveals the importance of trust and transparency in a global scenario that brings around a state of vulnerability for workers, institutions and the general public. They also touch on the challenges of 'data illiteracy', distinguish what constitutes 'personal data', and question the potential trade-offs of privacy and effectiveness when implementing tracking applications. 

Released 19 May 2020. Presented by Gabriela Arriagada Bruneau.
