The data privacy case that might shift U.S. surveillance policy (after all) Jun 01, 2023

Show notes

Welp, the Irish DPC fined Meta $1.3 billion, the highest ever GDPR fine, and it ordered Meta to stop transferring data from the EU to the U.S. The implication, obviously, is that every other company using SCCs to transfer data is also in breach of the GDPR. But the problem is at the political level! We can't solve this organizationally. So, what’s a company to even do? Eduardo Ustaran talks you off the ledge.

Why everyone's losing it over Washington State's d00zy of a privacy law Apr 29, 2023

Show notes

Everyone's losing it over this Washington State privacy law. The impetus for the bill was to cover gaps in HIPAA, and the Dobbs v. Jackson decision lit a fire in regulators, putting health-data privacy protections on a fast-track that never slowed. Mike Hintze, co-founder of Hintze Law, says this one “goes well beyond what any other privacy law has done.” Here's what he means.

Illinois' BIPA (not BEE-PAH) is having a CCPA-like moment Mar 14, 2023

Show notes

Jay Edelson has been using Illinois’ Biometric Privacy Act to take companies like Facebook and Clearview AI to task for alleged misuse. And he’s had great success. Without a federal law on biometrics in the U.S., states have started introducing their own versions of BIPA in rapid succession. In fact, 17 U.S. states have introduced a biometric privacy law this year already. In this episode, Edelson discusses his recent wins and his forecast for the BIPA landscape in the future.

Personalized ads: 'We'll survive Schrems, damnit!' Feb 09, 2023

Show notes

The future of personalized ads felt wildly uncertain when the Irish DPC's final decision on the Meta case came down. The decision sent Privacy Twitter into a frenzy over the implications: You can't bundle personalized ads into the contract for the service itself, the DPC said. At the same time, the EU and U.S. are still trying to shake hands on a new data-transfer agreement. Luckily, Phil Lee is a master of both topics, and he's here to talk you off the ledge.
