On this episode of Serious Privacy, Paul Breitbarth of Catawiki and Dr. K Royal of Outschool catch up on a week in privacy. This week is all about the C’s - COPPA, code, California, Cuba, Colombia, cars, consultations, and more. We talk about the new age appropriate design code bill that is before the CA governor for signature. It is expected to pass in spite of the opposition against it.
Cuba’s new law is covered, but we only touch on Colombia because we have an upcoming guest for that topic. The new CNIL enforcement against UBEEQO is wonderfully instructive in its findings, if not its recommendations. And also the Sephora settlement in California under the California Consumer Privacy Act, addressing the “sell” of data, service providers’ contracts, and notice. The slightly unexpected aspect centering on GPC, Global Privacy Control.

Join us for an enlightening and entertaining conversation, with a couple of bloopers for the listeners - someone suggested that we give y’all a treat with outtakes, so one day, we may put together a special episode (and it’s not just K who bloops).

Give Me More, Please - a discussion of DSAR tech (w Gal Ringel of Mine) Sep 01, 2022

On this episode of Serious Privacy, Paul Breitbarth of Catawiki and Dr. K Royal of Outschool connect with perhaps a controversial player in the privacy game, Gal Ringel, Founder and CEO of Mine. (on Twitter @MineApp and @GalRingel) You might recognize the name from a slew of individual rights requests. We agree that everyone should be able to understand what personal data organisations process about them. However, it can be a challenge to find out how to file these access requests for each and every company that may have your data - there could literally be thousands of companies to write to.

Gal is based in Tel Aviv, Israel, and has a background in military intelligence, software development and investment. He is also a member of the Forbes Technology Council. He saw a need and was inspired to help make it easy both for individuals and companies. In recent years, there have been several initiatives launched to make it easier for individuals to exercise their rights. The Dutch civil rights group Bits of Freedom has for example launched a project called My Data Done Right, that allows you to create your access request letters.

Join us for an enlightening and entertaining conversation with Gal and our mutual love of data protection rights.
