June 09, 2022 The fourth leg of ESG: a Privacy Framework (with Paolo Balboni)
Send us Fan Mail
This episode of Serious Privacy, Paul Breitbarth of Catawiki and Dr. K Royal of Outschool connect with Paolo Balboni, who is attached to Maastricht University’s European Centre on Privacy and Cybersecurity as Professor of Privacy, Cybersecurity, and IT Contract Law. Last March, researchers at Maastricht University published the first-ever complete Corporate Social Responsibility framework for data protection, aimed at improving privacy and security for a sustainable digital future. The framework translates theoretical ethical principles into tangible and practical guidelines for companies and organizations that process personal data.
Next to his university role, Professor Balboni is one of the founders of ICT Legal Consulting, an Italo-Dutch law firm with offices around the world. He also has many other roles in privacy, including as the Chairman of the Data Protection Board of the European Patent Office.
Join us as we discuss the framework, his career progression in privacy, and privacy as the fourth element in a successful ESG program.

June 01, 2022 All about those Borders + more: A week in privacy
Send us Fan Mail
In this episode of Serious Privacy, recorded on the anniversary of the GDPR (watch the recent webinar), Paul Breitbarth of Catawiki and Dr. K Royal of Outschool catch up on the past week or so in privacy. What exciting things - or not so exciting things have happened. Most seem to be in the area of cross-border transfers.
Join us as we discuss some history with the GDPR, with a light mention of Connecticut’s new privacy law, Quebec’s Bill 64, and People’s Republic of China’s PIPL (register for the upcoming webinar on PIPL compliance with Paul and Dr. K) We discuss whether the GDPR remains the gold standard of data protection laws, or one we want to inspire the others. We also discuss other related topics, such as the potential of the Global Cross Border Rules, based on the APECs Cross Border Privacy Rules, the EU-US thingy (the new agreement in principal, see recent webinar ), codes of conduct, and the Scope EU Cloud Code of Conduct specifically. For example, CloudFlare announced its adherence to the EU Cloud Code of COnduct and the rise in their stock. During this week, Paul missed the CPDP conference, including some of our friends - Emerald de Leeuw and Ralph O’Brien - along with the presentation by Professor Greenleaf on international data flows.
We also covered the UK’s International Data Transfer Agreement, finalized back in March, and the new FAQs issued by the European Commission on Standard Contractual Clauses, which is similar to the ones Paul and K issued for TrustArc last year, with the exception of just a few tidbits that are discussed on the podcast.

May 25, 2022 Privacy: The Self-Fulfilling Prophecy (with Shay Sharon)
Send us Fan Mail
In this episode of Serious Privacy, Paul Breitbarth of Catawiki and Dr. K Royal of Outschool take some time to review recent events in the privacy / data protection world. This week, this means they cover the Connecticut Act concerning Personal Data Privacy and Online Monitoring Act - the PDPOM… Paul has a cool name for it. Connecticut’s act passed on May 10, 2022 and takes effect July 1, 2023 - along with CPRA and Virginia on January 1, 2023; Colorado also on July 1, 2023; Utah on December 31, 2023 Please also see the recent state laws webinar from TrustArc and the state whitepapers.
This leads into the Roe v. Wade US Supreme Court leaked draft decision and then on to Europe with a study conducted by the Radboud University in the Netherlands, imec-COSIC, KU Leuven (a Catholic research university in the city of Leuven, Belgium), and University of Lausanne in Switzerland. These researchers looked at thousands of websites and their “leaky forms.” Leaky forms are those that capture data before the individual submits it, so companies get a lot of data that they should not have, including passwords. This may not be purposeful, but it is concerning. The full paper is published here.

Send us Fan Mail
In this episode of Serious Privacy, Paul Breitbarth introduces an episode where Dr. K Royal caught up with several individuals at the IAPP Global Privacy Summit held in Washington DC at the Marriott Marquis. It was a truly wonderful event, the first Global privacy Summit since 2019, with thousands of privacy professionals in attendance. Attendees included professionals from all over the world, those with nonprofits, with private companies, with start-up companies, government representatives, in-house and outside firm attorneys, security professionals, regulators, and more!
Join us to listen to snippets of conversation with some people you may know and some you may not. Featured in this episode are Trevor Hughes, CEO of the IAPP, Eduardo Ustaren of Hogan Lovells, David Cohen of IAB, Emil Ochotta with Google, Jörn Wittmann and Gabriela Mercuri with Scope Europe, and ShanShan Pa now with State Street.
Although K Intended to include short snippets from some truly world class keynote speakers and some of the sessions that she attended, the sound quality just wasn't good enough to be able to add them.
