Consumer Privacy - Burden or Choice

What comes after being bombarded to death by privacy and GDPR notices? Will consumer have more power over their personal preferences or will they be stuck reading 400s of pages of legalese? Is consumer privacy a choice or is it a burden? Prifina is delighted to introduce Zoe Vilain as our special guest at the fourth episode of the Liberty. Equality. Data. Zoe is currently working as a legal counsel on all matters related to personal data. Previously, she served as Chief Privacy and Strategy Officer for VC backed, consumer privacy startup Jumbo. In this episode, we discuss issues related to fundamental rights revolving around data privacy. Zoe offers a rich and insightful overview of the roots of the contemporary privacy regime which dates back to the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Zoe brought a number of arguments in favor of a new international document that would set global standards for consumer privacy and data protection. She Also noted that the COVID-19 crisis raises a number of complex questions about the future of data privacy. Together with Podcast hosts Markus and Paul, Zoe explored the current shifts in the data privacy market and the role that the recent data privacy regulations such as GDPR and CCPA have played on both sides of the Atlantic. The podcast raises a number of questions about the future trends of data privacy; about the burdens and opportunities that could be brought about by adopting new approaches to personal data.
