Ongoing concerns over the struggles of those tasked with enforcing the EU's General Data Protection Regulation have raised questions about whether the bloc's landmark privacy legislation remains fit for purpose — a mere four years after it came into effect. But while the European Data Protection Supervisor has sounded the alarm over cross-border privacy-enforcement challenges, there are those who argue that the GDPR is already equipped with all the enforcement tools it needs. Also on today's podcast: The US Securities and Exchange Commission's defense of whistleblowers returns to centerstage in the Biden Administration.

Every year, in the final week of January, privacy professionals from around the world assemble in the north of Brussels for the Computers, Privacy and Data Protection Conference. In recent years, on the final day, the European Data Protection Law Review awards a young scholar award and hosts a panel to discuss the nominated papers. In this episode of Serious Privacy, Paul Breibarth and K Royal host the first of this year’s three finalists for the EDPL Award on the podcast. Isabel Hahn holds a Bachelor of Laws degree from the London School of Economics and Political Science, recently completed an internship at NOYB and has just started a new internship with the European Data Protection Supervisor. Her paper focuses on the concept of purpose limitation, and the question whether or not it is still compatible with today’s data economy. Developments in privacy sometimes go so quickly, it is almost impossible to keep up.Join us as we discuss purpose limitation and validating the concept against big data and common practices worldwide on the use of personal information. During this conversation, we cover a recent complaint in Austria against a credit rating agency, Article 5 of the GDPR, and characteristics of what Hahn terms data power companies: omnipresence in digital environment (builds insight into individuals lives), data volume (acquires and controls flow and repurposing), and ability to aggregate data. She believes that these three features combined lead to an asymmetry of value and a level of pervasive interference that is simply inequitable to the average consumer. You will also hear about compatible uses, using legitimate interests to balance the need or desire for new uses of data, and contextual integrity as discussed by Helen Nissenbaum. Lastly, because of course we have to address it with such a promising new professional - what is next in Isabel’s plan - does she intend to continue with privacy as a career?

If there's anyone we could call an expert on data protection in the EU, it's Christian D'Cunha. Years back, he was charged with leading the review of the EU Data Retention Directive — no easy task — before he moved to a role at the European Data Protection Supervisor's office as a policy assistant under former EDPS Peter Hustinx and then, his successor, the late Giovanni Buttarelli. Now, D'Cunha has taken a role at the European Commission at DG Connect, a segment of the Cybersecurity and Digital Privacy Unit. In this episode of The Privacy Advisor Podcast, D'Cunha discusses what he learned about the art of negotiation during his leadership role on the Directive, the future of ethics in the privacy profession and whether we're ever going to see that ePrivacy Regulation come to fruition.

This latest data protection tea break is all about accountability, arguably the most important of the seven data protection principles. In October 2019 ODPA board member Chris Docksey delivered a keynote speech on accountability and how it is achieved at an international conference on data protection and privacy. This podcast features Guernsey’s Deputy Data Protection Commissioner Rachel Masterton and the ODPA’s Chief Operating Officer Tim Loveridge discussing key points from Chris’s presentation, including the relevant clips. They expand upon some of Chris’s key points and echo the responsibility organisations have to be accountable for how they look after our data. As well as being on the board of the ODPA, Chris is Honorary Director General of the European Data Protection Supervisor.

Countdown to GDPR with the Future of Privacy Forum's Gabriela Zanfir-Fortuna The new EU General Data Protection Regulation Goes into effect on May 25, 2018 Changes – What is Personal Data Changes – Scope (not limited to EU) Changes – Consent New Consumer Rights – e.g. “the right to be forgotten”, and a right of “data. Before moving to the US, Gabriela worked for the European Data Protection Supervisor in Brussels, dealing both with enforcement (compliance) and policy matters. At the EDPS she worked in Cooperation and International Relations, dealing among other issues with international data transfers, participating to the work of the Article 29 Working Party. Gabriela received the Junior Scholar Award in 2014 at the Computers, Privacy and Data Protection (CPDP) Conference in Brussels for her work on the right to be forgotten. She is the first Romanian author to publish a comprehensive volume on the rights of the data subjects (“Protectia datelor personale. Drepturile persoanei vizate”, C.H. Beck, Bucharest, 2015). She published extensively on privacy and data protection in international journals and collective volumes.

In today’s digital world, more and more of our lives are moving online, raising concerns about the privacy of the vast quantities of information that now exist in cyberspace. In recent years, much debate has emerged about the tradeoff between individual privacy and national security, and the US and EU provide an interesting comparison of how governments have balanced these aims. In the European Union, privacy is protected as a fundamental right, contributing to much stricter regulations on data collection than seen in the US. Last spring, the European Court of Justice ruled that EU citizens have the ‘right to be forgotten’ online, a regulation that would quickly run up against first amendment arguments in the United States. The US lacks similar overarching laws for data protection, as has become very apparent as vast government surveillance has been brought to light. How do policies differ in America and Europe, and what can the two countries learn from each other? How can individuals better understand their rights and limit the amount of personal data being collected? And how much privacy are we willing to give up in exchange for national security? Giovanni Buttarelli, European Data Protection Supervisor, and Cindy Cohn, Executive Director, Electronic Frontier Foundation, are in discussion. The conversation is moderated by Paul Schwartz, Jefferson E. Peyser Professor, UC Berkeley School of Law; Senior Advisor, Paul Hastings LLP.

This contribution by Peter Hustinx, European Data Protection Supervisor and formerly President of the Dutch Data Protection Authority, presents an international perspective on the interface between Data Protection and freedom of expression. Peter Hustinx argues the proposed European Data Protection Regulation should avoid specific reference to journalism literature and art but should very clearly require Member States only provide freedom of expression exemptions from Data Protection to the extent necessary to strike a proper balance between fundamental rights. He also argues that it might be helpful to state that the exemptions should not affect the essential elements of either the right to freedom of expression or the right to data protection. The talk was the keynote address of the OxPILS Conference 'The 'Right to be Forgotten' and Beyond' held on 12 June 2012. This Conference was the culmination of 'Mending the Tangled Web? Information Privacy 3.0', a series which was generously made possible with funding from a Joint Programme between the European Union and the Council of Europe. (The views expressed are those of the individual speakers only). For full details please see http://www.csls.ox.ac.uk/conferences/oxpilsconference2012/.
