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.
