Send us a textDebbie Reynolds “The Data Diva” talks to Marko Dinic, CEO of Jatheon Technologies, Inc. We discuss the evolving landscape of data archiving, compliance, and artificial intelligence. Marko shares his extensive experience in the archiving space, spanning over two decades, and highlights how regulatory frameworks like Sarbanes-Oxley, GDPR, and CCPA have shaped data retention practices across industries. He explains the complexities of managing data archiving, including challenges with deletion, deduplication, and maintaining audit logs while complying with privacy laws. The conversation explores the growing tension between data retention requirements and privacy mandates, especially in light of AI advancements.Marko emphasizes how AI-driven systems are transforming corporate data management, creating both opportunities and new legal and compliance concerns. The discussion touches on the evolution of data archiving from being a compliance necessity to becoming a strategic corporate asset. Laws such as Sarbanes-Oxley, GDPR, and CCPA significantly impact how organizations must retain and manage data while balancing individuals' right to be forgotten. AI complicates data deletion processes, raising new privacy risks as organizations increasingly rely on automated compliance workflows. The growing importance of archiving systems as enterprise-wide data hubs underscores their role in providing AI-driven insights while ensuring regulatory adherence.As AI continues to reshape the business landscape, organizations must rethink data governance strategies to navigate compliance challenges. AI models introduce complexities in legal discovery and searchability, requiring transparency in how AI-generated outputs are produced and stored. With companies leaning more heavily on archiving to manage the vast amounts of data being generated, data governance, compliance, and privacy concerns will remain central to business strategy. The integration of AI into archiving systems represents both an opportunity and a challenge, requiring careful consideration of legal, ethical, and technological factors to maintain compliance and data integrity.Support the show

The transition off of fossil fuels is important and needs to happen, but it will affect the livelihoods of oil and gas workers and those in fossil fuel dependent communities. How can we make sure the transition is just and people-centred? We spoke with Hadrian Mertins-Kirkwood, a senior researcher at the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives.

He argues for a trusted web model where individuals are compensated for sharing their information, contrasting it with current practices that often exploit user data. Cranstone also addresses the need for equitable resource distribution, suggesting that the value generated by major tech companies could be redirected to alleviate issues like food insecurity. He concludes by emphasizing the importance of AI in personalizing user interactions while maintaining privacy, advocating for a moral approach to data management that respects individuals and promotes equitable distribution, and his data privacy hope for the future.Support the show

ST. PETERSBURG, FL - April 2025 - As the cloud communications sector embraces artificial intelligence (AI), BroadSource is stepping forward with a practical message for resellers: You can profit from AI — if you first help your customers solve data privacy challenges. Speaking with Technology Reseller News at the Cloud Communications Alliance's Cloud Connections 2025 event, Bill Placke, President of Americas for BroadSource, outlined how the company's SecureCall platform helps overcome a critical barrier to AI adoption. “Legal and compliance concerns around collecting personal data are slowing AI deployment,” said Placke. “Our SecureCall solution removes sensitive personal information like credit card or Social Security numbers at the time of collection — enabling safe and compliant AI use.” BroadSource's SecureCall product, which earned Cisco's Top 3 Global Innovation Award, enables secure data input during phone-based customer interactions. Customers input card details or other personal information directly, while the merchant remains on the call without hearing sensitive tones. Data is transmitted securely for processing, bypassing the merchant's internal systems and eliminating storage liability. With new PCI DSS 4.0 standards taking effect and global regulations such as GDPR and CCPA evolving, businesses face growing risks for non-compliance. Placke noted that SecureCall removes this burden from the enterprise. “Companies can rely on BroadSource's own PCI certification for compliance,” he said. “That means fewer headaches for IT and finance leaders — and real value for the reseller who delivers the solution.” BroadSource is expanding SecureCall's capabilities under the SecurePII brand to address broader categories of personal data. The goal is to create a foundation of data minimization, enabling enterprises to leverage AI and LLMs (large language models) without running afoul of data protection laws. Placke likens the opportunity to the 1840s Gold Rush: “AI is the gold. BroadSource is the pickaxe and blue jeans — the tools every prospector needs to get started.” For resellers navigating the fast-moving AI landscape, Placke advises aligning with customer priorities. “Cybersecurity is the top concern for IT leaders,” he said. “Look at breach points like passwords and explore solutions that offer more secure alternatives. When you bring customers practical AI tools with compliance built in, you're not just selling a service — you're building trust.” BroadSource also offers EMU CAPP, a behavioral analytics product that uses AI to monitor user behavior on BroadWorks platforms and detect anomalies, helping prevent toll fraud. “Resellers should lean in,” Placke concluded. “There's a real opportunity to lead by helping your customers adopt AI safely.” For more information, visit broadsource.com or secure-pii.com.

Amanda Moore is a seasoned leader with extensive experience in privacy strategy, technology, and operations. She currently serves as the Senior Director of Privacy at DIRECTV, where she oversees the company's privacy program with respect to technology and operations. Prior to her role at DIRECTV, she held pivotal positions at CVS Health and AT&T leading technical and business teams. Her career started in information technology but shifted to privacy before the onset of CCPA. Amanda holds the CIPM certifications and is a OneTrust Fellow of Privacy Technology. In this episode… Many organizations invest in privacy technology expecting it to deliver instant compliance, only to find that it fails to integrate with existing tools or processes. Adoption often lags when internal teams see privacy as a barrier or when tools are implemented without clearly defined goals. Choosing privacy technology before businesses understand the specific problem they're meant to solve leads to confusion, inefficiency, and low adoption. One of the most effective ways to boost technology adoption is to start with a clear understanding of business processes and goals before introducing new privacy tech. Successful privacy programs start by mapping business processes and making small, non-disruptive backend adjustments that minimize disruption. Additionally, building internal awareness through roadshows, clear communication, and simplified privacy impact assessments helps shift perceptions and encourages teams to view privacy as a business enabler. In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels speak with Amanda Moore, Senior Director of Privacy at DIRECTV, about integrating privacy technology into business operations. Amanda highlights how strong internal relationships help position privacy as a business enabler, why reframing communication to various business executives enhances support for privacy initiatives, and how measuring privacy program maturity with the use of technology provides more insight than surface-level metrics. She also discusses methods to increase adoption through internal awareness campaigns and simplified assessments, and the long-term value of reputation-building within organizations.

In a world where data is more important than ever, understanding how it is acquired, shared, and misused is critical. Data brokers work behind the scenes, amassing enormous amounts of personal information from online activity, loyalty programs, and even public records, often without the users' knowledge. This data powers targeted marketing, scams, and even identity theft. But what can be done to regain control of personal privacy? Today we're diving deep into this topic with cybersecurity expert Darius Belejevas, who has spent years assisting folks in removing their data from these digital marketplaces. He is the head of Incogni and Surfshark.  In this chat, Darius is going to share how these sneaky data brokers operate. He'll break down why it's such a big deal when our data gets out there for all to see, and he'll arm us with some solid strategies to keep our privacy intact. We'll also look at practical tactics that everyone can apply to limit their exposure to hackers.

Consumer Privacy: Laws protecting consumers' personal information from unauthorized collection, use, and disclosure.Consumer privacy laws are designed to protect individuals' personal information from being collected, used, or disclosed without their authorization. This area of law is increasingly important in the digital age, where vast amounts of personal data are collected and processed by businesses.Here's a breakdown of key aspects:What is Personal Information? This typically includes any information that can be used to identify an individual, such as name, address, phone number, email address, social security number, credit card details, browsing history, and location data.Why is it Important? Consumer privacy laws aim to:Protect individuals from identity theft and fraud.Safeguard sensitive information from being used for discriminatory purposes.Ensure that individuals have control over their own data.Build trust between consumers and businesses.Key Regulations: Various laws and regulations govern consumer privacy, which vary by jurisdiction. Some examples include:General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): In the European Union, the GDPR sets strict rules for how businesses can collect, use, and store personal data.California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA): In California, the CCPA gives consumers more control over their personal information, including the right to know what data is being collected and the right to request that it be deleted.Common Issues:Data breaches: Unauthorized access to and disclosure of personal information.Surveillance and tracking: The collection of data on individuals' online activities without their knowledge or consent.Targeted advertising: The use of personal data to deliver personalized advertisements, which can be intrusive and raise privacy concerns.Enforcement: Regulatory bodies are often responsible for enforcing consumer privacy laws and can impose penalties on businesses that violate these laws.In essence, consumer privacy laws seek to balance the interests of businesses in collecting and using data with the rights of individuals to protect their personal information.

In today's podcast, we discussed the critical area of consumer protection law, focusing on consumer privacy. Consumer protection law covers a broad range of areas including product safety, false advertising, fair credit reporting, debt collection practices, warranties, consumer contracts, and unfair trade practices. Due to the increasing importance of protecting personal data in the digital age, we concentrated on consumer privacy.Consumer privacy is centered on protecting individuals' personal information from unauthorized collection, use, and disclosure. This information, known as Personally Identifiable Information (PII), includes names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, social security numbers, credit card details, browsing history, and location data. Protecting this data is crucial to prevent identity theft, financial fraud, and other harms. Strong privacy measures empower consumers by giving them control over their data and fostering trust between individuals and businesses, which is essential for a healthy digital economy.Protecting consumer privacy is necessary for several reasons: to prevent identity theft and fraud, to safeguard sensitive information from being misused for discriminatory practices, to give consumers rights over their data, and to build trust between consumers and businesses.Key regulatory frameworks that shape consumer privacy law include the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). The GDPR emphasizes principles such as data minimization, purpose limitation, and obtaining explicit consent before processing personal data. It also gives individuals rights to access, correct, and erase their data. The CCPA grants California residents the rights to know what data is collected, to request its deletion, and to opt out of its sale. These regulations show a global trend toward stricter controls over how personal data is handled.Despite these regulations, challenges remain, including data breaches, pervasive tracking and surveillance of online activities, targeted advertising practices, complexities of cross-border data transfers, and emerging technologies.Enforcement mechanisms, such as regulatory bodies and judicial remedies, are essential for effective consumer privacy protection.Consumer privacy law will continue to evolve in response to technological advancements and the increasingly global nature of data flows. Enhanced consumer empowerment tools and ongoing regulatory innovation will likely shape future legal developments.

Alan L. Friel is Chair of Squire Patton Boggs' Data Privacy, Cybersecurity & Digital Assets Practice. He is tier-1 ranked by Chambers, and BTI Consulting Group has named Alan a Client Service All-Star, recognizing lawyers who stand above all others in delivering exceptional client service. In this episode… Evolving privacy regulations like the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) are reshaping the way companies approach data management and compliance. CCPA's proposed draft regulations would require certain businesses to conduct cybersecurity audits, privacy risk assessments, and implement governance surrounding automated decision-making and AI technologies. While these frameworks help protect consumer data, they also introduce operational challenges and increased expenses for companies. How can companies prepare for compliance while effectively managing data and reducing costs? Privacy compliance is more than a legal requirement — it's a vital part of sound business strategy. Navigating compliance obligations requires companies to adopt a proactive approach to data governance. Businesses need to implement good data hygiene practices and conduct privacy risk assessments to identify and mitigate risks. These processes help businesses maintain their data inventory, respond to consumer privacy rights requests, and manage information assets. However, the legal landscape remains complicated, with questions about whether some regulatory requirements may conflict with First Amendment protections. In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels speak with Alan Friel, Chair of the Data Privacy, Cybersecurity & Digital Assets Practice at Squire Patton Boggs, about the costs, benefits, and legal implications of regulatory compliance. Alan explains why businesses should adopt privacy risk assessments as a best practice, regardless of ongoing legal uncertainties, and discusses the intersection of privacy regulations with free speech rights under the First Amendment. He emphasizes the importance of proactive data management practices and governance to navigate compliance challenges and position businesses for long-term success in a shifting regulatory environment.
