The Practice of Privacy Law
05/04/24 • 37 min
When it comes to data privacy, the legal and regulatory environment is changing faster than ever.
While in the United States, no federal privacy law exists, there's a growing sentiment from those who are watching closely that things are about to change.
In this episode of Privacy Files, we talk to privacy law attorney Alan Chapell. Alan is the Founder of Chapell & Associates, a legal consulting firm that helps digital media companies navigate the challenges associated with regulations, public policy and the overall marketplace as it relates to privacy.
From serving as Chief Privacy Officer for startups to transitioning into a general counsel role for more established organizations, Alan's primary goal is to help companies maximize opportunities while avoiding the major pitfalls.
Alan is also the Chief Analyst and Publisher of The Chapell Report, a monthly research report focusing on the most important topics pertaining to digital media and privacy.

In this interview, Alan reflects on the significant changes that have taken place over the last twenty years in the digital media industry.
We talk about the impact that artificial intelligence (AI) is having on digital media and privacy.
Alan has consulted in more than 25 bankruptcy cases, including General Motors, Chrysler, Eddie Bauer, Atari and St. Vincent’s hospitals. Related to this topic, we discuss a little about the dangers involved with mergers and acquisitions and why it so critical for companies to conduct their due diligence before finalizing any agreements to ensure the company will be compliant with privacy laws and regulations.
Alan is also a professional musician and talks about how his career in music inspired him to help the digital media industry raise its game in the privacy arena.

Romantic AI Chatbots and Privacy
Ever since the release of OpenAI's ChatGPT in November 2022, artificial intelligence (AI) has dominated the news.
AI is bringing a level of realism and human-like behavior to technology that just two years ago would have been considered unthinkable.
But AI is also introducing new data privacy concerns.
In this episode of Privacy Files, we examine the rising phenomenon of romantic AI chatbots and what these applications are doing with your personal data.
Colin from Anonyome Lab's Security & Compliance team joined Rich to discuss the findings of the Mozilla Foundation's review of 11 romantic AI chatbots. Each one received Mozilla's notorious warning label "Privacy Not Included."
Only one of the chatbot apps confirmed in their privacy policy that they don't share or sell personal data.
Half of the chatbots reviewed won't even allow you to delete your personal data.
64% of the apps were not clear about encryption technology and whether or not they employ it.
Overall, it's an interesting look into yet another AI-spawned industry where the security of personal data might not be a top priority.

Reusable Digital Identity
In the United States, fraud and identity theft together result in tens of billions of dollars in losses annually.
Contributing to this growing problem is the continued use of usernames and passwords stored in giant, centralized databases owned by large companies. These databases are often the target of hacking attacks. And this stolen data finds its way into marketplaces on the dark web.
The good news is, there's a better way and it's being put to the test now.
In this episode of Privacy Files, we welcome back Anonyome Labs CTO, Dr. Paul Ashley.
Dr. Ashley provides an update on the topic of decentralized identity and how companies are using blockchain technology to develop reusable credentials, sometimes referred to as reusable digital identity.
So much has happened in the world of decentralized identity since Dr. Ashley last appeared on Privacy Files.
Many industries are now exploring ways to implement reusable credentials as a way to reduce fraud and improve the customer experience. From banking and healthcare to insurance and cybersecurity, industry leaders are pioneering the transformation of the way businesses secure information and protect their clients.
Dr. Ashley covers many examples of how the concept of reusable credentials can work and proves that the best use case for blockchain technology is not cryptocurrency, but data verification.
A future where clunky usernames and passwords are a thing of the past is just around the corner.
