In this episode of Chats You Didn’t Know You Needed, host Stephen is joined by Michaela Bager Doslic from SEB and Adina Schildt Gillion from Meta to unpack the real story behind data privacy, regulation, and life beyond GDPR.

They explore how privacy is managed behind the scenes at two major organisations, what GDPR gets right (and what’s still misunderstood), and how different roles—from legal to tech—shape how our data is protected.
