Privacy rights are the cornerstone of how people can keep control of their personal information and there's no one better to talk to about this than Michael Power. 

Several privacy laws require you to get consent before collecting the personal information of website users (emails, phone numbers, names, IP addresses, etc.) 

It's extremely common for websites to fail to get proper consent (even though they think they're doing it correctly). 

We chat with Elizabeth Donkervoort (the Program Director at the American Bar Association’s Center for Global Programs at the Rule of Law Initiative) and Lani Victoria Q. Vinas (the Legal Director at SHUSAKU·YAMAMOTO, named as 2023 Japan IP Law Firm of the Year by the Asian Legal Business) about the proper way to get consent.

On this Data Privacy Week episode we talk:

We sit down with Odia Kagan, Chair of GDPR Compliance and International Privacy at Fox Rothschild LLP to figure it out. 

What does it mean for a website to collect data? What about sharing data? Selling data? 

These are all real realities of today's online world, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're bad. We discuss when it's ok and when it's maybe not so ok on today's episode. 

Are online privacy and online security the same thing? Can you have one without the other? 

We discuss this and more on this episode of Privacy Lawls. Joined by Jody Westby, CEO of Global Cyber Risk LLC. 

How often do you think about privacy? Does it bother you to get a text/email you didn't sign up for? How about an ad that's a little too close to home? 

In this episode of Privacy Lawls, we discuss why people (and businesses) should care about online privacy and the consequences of ignoring it.

Joining us for this episode is Rian Kinney, Tech & Privacy Attorney CIPP/E & CIPM, Attorney licenses FL & TX.
