Data Privacy Detective

Joe Dehner

Data privacy is the footprint of our existence. It is our persona beyond ourselves, with traces of us scattered from birth certificates, Social Security numbers, shopping patterns, credit card histories, photographs, mugshots and health records. In a digital world, where memory is converted to 0’s and 1’s, then instantly transformed into a reproduction even in 3D, personal data is an urgent personal and collective subject. Those who wish to live anonymous lives must take extraordinary measures to succeed in that improbable quest, while those who hope for friendship or fame through the spread of their personal data must learn how to prevent theft of their identity and bank account.

Listen to the last episode:

Tune in for our August 2024 roundtable about three hot data privacy developments. Yugo Nagashima and Brio St. Amour join the Data Privacy Detective to plumb meaning beneath the headlines:

The Netherland Data Protection Authority fines Uber 290 million Euros for data transfers of sensitive private information.
Minnesota adopts a data privacy code.
Data brokers emerge from the shadows after an enormous database hack and a call to action.

Consider what happens when the European Court of Justice invalidates a U.S./EU safe harbor, and before the next one is in place, a company transfers data to the U.S. without complying with GDPR requirements - so says a Dutch regulator, levying a 290 million fine.

Minnesota adopts a state data privacy code, joining about a third of the states to do so. Is it a copycat or pioneer?

After what some claim was the biggest data hack in history - exposing highly sensitive personal information when a data broker’s database was taken and offered for sale on the dark web, one leading commentator issues a call to action for regulation and business self-action. Is the spotlight now on data brokers?
