Wrapping up Season 4 - all the love Dec 26, 2023

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

On this week of Serious Privacy, Paul Breitbarth of Catawiki and Dr. K Royal and Ralph O’Brien bring you the final episode - chock full of privacy goodness: episode 183 of Serious Privacy. And what a year it has been. With over 44,000 downloads just this season, this was our most successful year to date. We missed top 10% on #Buzzsprout by about 5 downloads a week - so share and care. But of course, the year was not remarkable because of the number of downloads, but because of all the things that happened. From new legislation in India, to the adoption of the data privacy thingy, from yet again failed negotiations on the European ePrivacy Regulation to still no new data protection laws in Canada and the UK, the world of privacy and data protection is keeping all of us busy.
Top episodes are:

5. We’re back and already loving season 4

4.Data Transfers: Will we ever learn? with Laura Dreschler

3.This is the year that was - final episode of 2022

2. Mega Meta Privacy with Romain Robert and Gabriela Zanfir-Fortuna (#1 when we started recording…and it flipped)

1. AI: not so intelligent and not so artificial

Favorites include:

Tackling the Tough Topics: CSAM (Dr. Teresa Quintel and Alexander Hanff); Learning on the Run: Lets go Apprenticing (Emma Godfree); Passionate Compassion - Data Protection in Guernsey (Emma Martins); Coulda woulda shoulda - a talk on Ethics; Live from Stockholm at NPA23!; If it's broken, fix it (UK breaches with Ralph O'Brien); and Vendor Management - it's a real thing, and The truth and nothing but the truth: Europol (with Daniel Drewer and Jan Ellerman).
