Serious Privacy

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Serious Privacy, Paul Breitbarth of Catawiki and Dr. K Royal of Outschool tackle the tough topics of Ethics in data protection and privacy. This week's episode may be a little bit more philosophical than our usual ones. No big updates on what's happening in the world of privacy, but instead of conversation about ethics, what does it mean to take an ethical approach to data processing? 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. The article is International data transfers: Time to rethink binding corporate rules. As always, if you have comments or questions, let us know - LinkedIn, Twitter @podcastprivacy @euroPaulB @heartofprivacy @trustArc and email podcast@seriousprivacy.eu.
