From Frozen to Ultron - the hot privacy topics (with Ralph O'Brien)

In this episode of Serious Privacy, K Royal is joined by guest co-host Ralph O’Brien, who brings that United Kingdom perspective to data protection. As a well-known and respected privacy professional, Ralph took the opportunity to discuss some of the current hot topics in privacy with K, such as the impact of #Brexit on managing privacy programs in Europe.
Join us as we discuss the UK General Data Protection Regulation and how it was adopted and adapted from the EU GDPR and what might change in the approach companies take to appointing a local representative or designating a data protection officer. In addition, they touch on Schrems II, genetic testing, facial recognition, and risk-based privacy controls. It’s a lively discussion where the conversation goes where it may, and Ralph and K learn how much they have in common. And of course, there were references to both Harry Potter and the Avengers in terms of exploring what a new data transfer mechanism between the US and the EU would be called.

A Work in Progress: A View Inside the Irish DPC (with Helen Dixon)
Happy Data Protection Day! Paul Breitbarth and K Royal kick off Season 2 of the Serious Privacy podcast with a special guest, Helen Dixon, Data Protection Commissioner for Ireland. She is probably one of the best known data protection regulators around the world, with her office having the duty to supervise most major tech companies doing business in Europe. That comes with a lot of public scrutiny, and also with some fierce criticism.
In this episode, Commissioner Dixon talks about her plans for 2021, which have been publicly disclosed. But of course, we covered some of the major developments in 2020, such as the Court of Justice of the European Union decision on Schrems II back in July, as well as the first financial penalty for a US tech company. The Irish Data Privacy Commission has not been slacking off in the past year, with over 6,000 complaints, more than 7,000 breach reports, and multiple consultations, including input on COVID tracking apps and issuing guidance on CCTV.
Join us as we discuss what the workload under the General Data Protection Regulation has meant for personnel needs in her office, as well as addressing why the Irish DPC handles so many cases on US tech companies. In addition, we talked about the issues in international data transfers, including the appointment of Christopher Hoff in the US to lead the negotiations of a replacement for the invalidated EU-US Privacy Shield. We also touched on data ethics, accountability, and how to build

In my free time: Podcast and data broker analytics (with Ralph O’Brien and Jeff Jockisch)
1 RecommendationsIn this episode of Serious Privacy, K Royal is joined by guest co-host Ralph O’Brien to speak about what one privacy professional did with his free time over the pandemic. Most of us may have started a new hobby - so did Jeff Jockisch, founder and CEO of PrivacyPlan. First, he achieved his Certified Information Privacy Professional for US privacy law from the International Association of Privacy Professionals.
His studying process took him to books such as Peter Swire’s, and privacy podcasts. But he did not stop there. He created a database of podcasts on privacy and he publishes his database, including weekly favorites for specific episodes, on LinkedIn. Many of us have found this to be insightful and helpful, but we were curious how he started in this and why. So we asked Jeff to come onto the show and discovered there is much more to his analytics than podcasts.
Join us as we also discuss data brokers in detail, including how many he has documented (take a guess) and how he gathers his information. We also discuss biometric identifiers, de-identified information, data localization, and consent. Whether you are a privacy professional or someone who wants to learn about how companies manage your information, this is great information to know.
