"All browsers should be private," with Arthur Edelstein

In this episode, Jacob Høedt Larsen, talks to Claire Archibald about:Claire's Background: Claire Archibald, a legal director at Browne Jacobson, specializes in data protection and information governance in education, with a strong passion for children’s and staff privacy in schools.Path into Data Protection: Claire’s career began in regulatory law, notably environmental law, which had parallels with data protection, especially regarding compliance and regulatory pressures. Her diverse experiences, including mediation and working in education, naturally led her into data protection.Challenges in Data Protection for Education: Claire highlights that many schools in the UK lack proactive privacy programs, often reacting to data breaches without thorough root-cause analysis or strategic planning.Safeguarding and Privacy: She stresses that privacy and safeguarding are not mutually exclusive; instead, strong data protection measures can support safeguarding efforts within schools.Role of DPIAs: Claire is a strong advocate for Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) as a valuable tool for schools to understand the "why" behind their data processing activities, which helps mitigate risks and improve decision-making around digital tools.Vendor Influence and Digital Strategy: Schools often rely on EdTech vendors' sales pitches without sufficient critical analysis. This has led to a lack of strategic oversight, with schools frequently adopting new technologies without clear justifications or understanding of their impacts.Operational and Strategic Gaps: Schools often struggle with operational confidence in data protection, and trustees, who may lack time or resources, aren’t fully aware of strategic risks, resulting in a reactive rather than proactive approach to data protection.Personal Stories and the Importance of Privacy: Claire shares experiences showing the real-life impact of privacy issues, particularly on vulnerable groups like children and individuals with specific needs, emphasizing the nuanced harms that can arise from data misuse.Future Concerns in Data Protection: Claire is concerned about the accumulation of unnecessary data (“haystacks”), as this approach complicates data management, increases potential harm, and has environmental costs.Children’s Technology Use and Privacy: She highlights society’s cognitive dissonance around children’s use of technology—on one hand, technology is encouraged for educational use, while on the other, it poses risks to children's mental health and data privacy through tracking and recommender systems.Follow Claire on LinkedIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/claire-archibald-dpo/Your host: Jacob Høedt Larsen, follow me on Linkedin for more news and views on compliance and privacy: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacobhoedtlarsen/Sustainable Compliance is brought to you by Wired Relations - read more about it here: https://www.wiredrelations.comWired Relations is a GRC solution - tailored for privacy and information security.We help organisations turn fragile privacy and information security into sustainable GRC programmes.We focus on four things:Ease-of-use: You don’t need consultants to implement Wired Relations and you don’t need training to use it.Collaboration: Privacy and infosec is a team sport.

“Will we live in a world where tracking is the norm, or are we going to fix this global issue?”Arthur Edelstein is concerned for the future of the web and people's privacy online. He is a senior research and privacy engineer at Brave browser and founder of the project privacytests.org, where he runs objective privacy tests on major web browsers.Here he is focused on uncovering the hidden privacy risks, and his work tests how browsers handle issues like fingerprinting and cookies – results that are shared publicly. We talk about his most important findings. We also talk about:Why he chose privacy as a careerWhy it is importantWhat he is interested in right now andWhat he is most worried about when it comes to the future of digital privacy.Reach out to Arthur Edelstein on Linkedin and check out his project privacytests.org

"Hang on, let's look at what their day to day job is, what their business processes are, and optimize those processes so they become inherently compliant," Jonathan Craven says about his perspective on creating great data protection and information security.Jonathan Craven was previously Global Privacy Operations Lead at iRythm Technologies, now a self employed consultant. He came to data protection from a background and career in psychology and we talk about how that has informed his view on how to create a culture of data protection.We also talk about:Why he chose data protection as a careerWhy it is importantWhat he is interested about right new andWhat he is most worried about when it comes to the future of data protection?Reach out to Jonathan Craven on https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanbcraven/Your host: Jacob Høedt Larsen, follow me on Linkedin for more news and views on compliance and privacy: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacobhoedtlarsen/Sustainable Compliance is brought to you by Wired Relations - read more about it here: https://www.wiredrelations.comWired Relations is a GRC solution - tailored for privacy and information security.We help organisations turn fragile privacy and information security into sustainable GRC programmes.We focus on four things:Ease-of-use: You don’t need consultants to implement Wired Relations and you don’t need training to use it.Collaboration: Privacy and infosec is a team sport.

At TDC NET they have a strong privacy and security culture. No system or vendor enters the network without being thoroughly vetted by both data protection and information security. This happens due to a governance model that is anchored in the organisation and has buy-in at top management.TDC NET provides a great part of the digital infrastructure in Denmark, through fixed-line and mobile networks.In this podcast, Jacob Høedt Larsen, talks to Head of Privacy Compliance, Mona Persson about how they make it work.They discuss:1. How the governance model is set-up2. How a new system or a new vendor goes through the governance process3.

The DPIA process is important. In this podcast we look at it from the organisational perspective. How do you make it work - not legally or technically - but organisationally.You find the presentation here: https://3963040.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/3963040/Presentations/20240405_masterclass_DPIA.pptx.pdfIt:Supports good decision-making,Good governanceComplianceOften no DPIA is required – documents the non-actionIt is also good practice to do a DPIA for any other major project which requires the processing of personal data.

Shifting Privacy Left is a conscious effort to embed privacy practices earlier in the development life cycle to prevent privacy harms and data breaches from forming, Privacy Tech Advisor Debra Farber says.In this interview Debra Farber and I discuss what Shifting Privacy Left does, how it helps organisation, what competencies are needed and how it is implemented.My take-aways from the interview:Privacy requirements should be table stakes and functional product requirements, not something that comes from legal or the privacy team.Privacy by Design is the strategy, Shifting left is the implementation.It's a cultural shift which requires upskilling. Today, most developers, don't think privacy is their responsibility. Therefore, they should learn about privacy and data protection.Shifting Privacy Left can solve problems, lessening the compliance burden down the line. You host: Jacob Høedt Larsen, follow me on Linkedin for more news and views on compliance and privacy: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacobhoedtlarsen/Debra J.
