Send us Fan MailIn 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.
