Serious Privacy

Send us a textIn this episode of Serious Privacy, Paul Breitbarth of Catawiki and Dr. K Royal of Crawford & Company connected with two key individuals at Europol:  Daniel Drewer who is the head of Europol's data protection office and Jan Ellerman, one of the senior experts. Europol isn’t quite the way it is portrayed in the movies, so tune in for the real story.You can probably imagine the amount of personal data that is needed to make all the crime analysis. Because of that, Europol for a long time already claims to have one of the most robust data protection frameworks in the world of law enforcement. Our guests today are responsible for that framework. Daniel and Jan talk about what it means to protect personal data in a law enforcement context, when every piece of personal data could be the missing piece of the puzzle.More information on the Eden conference later this year, is available here.

This week's episode may be a little bit more philosophical than our usual ones.

And how does it work on a daily basis? This includes a perspective by Bojana Bellamy the President of Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP’s Centre for Information Policy Leadership  (CIPL) published with the IAPP.

Send us a textIn this episode of Serious Privacy, Paul Breitbarth of Catawiki and Dr. K Royal of Outschool discuss some of the hottest privacy news - spanning the Op-Ed in the Wall Street Journal by FTC Commissioner Christine Wilson (R) who has indicated her intention to resign to the Netherlands’ outlawing social media posts to the mounting opposition to the EU-US Data Protection Framework (the Thingy”). Paul put it very well in this IAPP article "With the EPDB's opinion on the framework weeks away, I think the Parliament's resolution is very timely, and might also influence the (data protection authorities') debate on whether or not the framework is indeed essentially equivalent." Maastricht University European Centre on Privacy and Cybersecurity Senior Visiting Fellow Paul Breitbarth said. "I have no doubt it is a big step in the right direction, but I'm not convinced it is enough." We also touched lightly on an order against Meta and their law firm related to the Cambridge AnalyticaAs always, if you have comments or questions, let us know - LinkedIn, Twitter @podcastprivacy @euroPaulB @heartofprivacy @trustArc and email seriousprivacy@trustarc.com.
