| 21 Jul 2019 | Episode 3: Disproportionate, intrusive and unfair – the ICO reports on ad tech and real time bidding (Part 1). | 00:44:38 | |
GDPR Now! brought to you by This is DPO. Disproportionate, intrusive and unfair – the ICO report on ad tech and real time bidding (Part 1). About this episode: Although the ICO has stated that it will take another six months to investigate further, it is already clear that the ICO will intervene. The ICO’s paper, and its forthcoming intervention, are likely to have a substantial impact in the programmatic industry in the EU and the US. It is no exaggeration to say that the ICO’s intervention is likely to have a bigger impact on this industry than the GDPR. To give some idea of scale: the worldwide spend of on digital advertising is expected to reach US$98bn in 2020. In Europe, the UK is by far the largest market, followed by Germany and then France (approx. US$15bn, US$8bn, US$4bn, respectively, in 2018). In this episode, three luminaries from digital advertising get together to discuss the ICO’s report and the possible ways forward.

In the Fashion ID case, the European Court of Justice decides that website owners are now joint controllers with the provider of the third-party cookie, and that website owners are responsible for issuing the privacy notices for third party cookies and for collecting any consents that are required. And, to make things a bit more complicated, the ECJ comes up with a new approach to analysing the data journey and who is the controller! All this and more in this episode of GDPR Now! GDPR Now!

| 06 Oct 2020 | Episode 24: NHS Track and Trace App: are privacy and practicality issues a barrier to success? | 00:51:25 | |
This episode is part of our series of updated podcasts addressing security & privacy concerns resulting from the coronavirus pandemic and the shift in working practises for millions of businesses across the UK and the world. In our discussion we first talk about the NHS Track and Trace app and ask "how did we get here?" with app #2 being released five months after app #1. We then explore whether track and trace apps are prevented from being successful due to privacy and practicality issues and whether this is a worldwide problem. During our discussion, I recommend a very important film "The Social Dilemma" which is available on Netflix. This is an must-watch film for everyone, especially parents with teenagers, pre-teens and young adults. Given some of the important issues raised in this episode, we will be recording Part 2, where we bring in a panel of specialists to start the discussions on how to address the practicality and privacy issues which can prevent track and trace apps from being effective during a pandemic.

Today we depart from the corornavirus related stories to bring you an update on the landmark ruling from the European Court of Justice on the EU - US Privacy Shield. The decision by the ECJ on 16th July 2020, to invalidate the EU - US Privacy Shield has sent shockwaves across organisations in the EU and US. We are joined by fellow host, Mark Sherwood-Edwards, lawyer, data protection specialist and founder of ThisisDPO.

| 01 Dec 2020 | Episode 25: Track and Trace apps: What price for data privacy? We need to find better solutions. | 01:02:02 | |
In today’s episode, we are delving into the issues we discussed in our previous episode #24 on the NHS Track and Trace app and considering in more detail the legal, privacy and practicality barriers to many track and trace apps in Europe. We discuss the take up of Track and Trace apps in the EU and find it is mostly 30% of the population and lower. Data privacy when using apps has been protected due to EU GDPR, however, other basic freedoms have been taken from us and our way of life severely impacted over the course of 2020. Track and trace apps have not had the hoped-for beneficial impact in the EU. Had we taken a different approach to using more data and made the apps mandatory, could the outcomes have been different? What does this mean in practise for track and trace apps as future solutions to help governments manage pandemics? Compare and contrast to other Asian countries. If 70 - 80% app usage is realistically needed to be effective, then why did we not make track and trace apps mandatory? What are we to learn from countries in Asia? How do we find a rapid and effective way to discuss and agree the extended use of our data to improve outcomes, rapidly, either during pandemics or outside of them? As Privacy, Legal and Tech professionals we must continue this conversation and find a framework for agreeing the greater use of data in a mandatory way to support better pandemic and health outcomes. The economic costs of lockdowns are extremely high and have a direct effect on a nation's ability to provide future healthcare. Our short term fix to today's problem could cause many more problems for the future. GDPR Now! Is brought to you by Data Protection 4 Business & This Is DPO.

| 18 Jun 2020 | Episode 21: Whose data is it anyway? Impact on track and track apps | 00:24:01 | |
This episode is part of our series of updated podcasts addressing security & privacy concerns resulting from the coronavirus pandemic and the shift in working practises for millions of businesses across the UK and the world. In this episode, we are going discuss personal data in detail and explore the question of: whose data is it anyway? And what are we prepared to tolerate regarding track and trace programmes as governments around the world implement track and track apps. To discuss this we are delighted to have Phil Brown, The Norfolk Data Protection Mardler, who advices clients in Norfolk on data protection. _Please note: Phil makes reference to the need for self reporting but would like to clarify that in the NHS Test and Trace scheme, an NHS Tracker will only contact individuals who have tested positive for Covid19. Whether someone should be tested at all is heavily dependent on self reporting. Furthermore, responses to a possible request to us to identify those with whom we may have had recent close contact is based on our ‘civic duty’ rather than a legal requirement - so it’s very much down to our willingness or judgment to do so. GDPR Now! Is brought to you by Data Protection 4 Business & This Is DPO. Guest/s Phil is an independent data protection consultant based in North Norfolk and has provided data protection advice and support to a wide variety of industries across Norfolk and beyond, mostly to small businesses. Prior to that, Phil had a 20 year career as a military communications officer which was then followed by 12 years in the world of mobile phone standardisation, mostly consulting for a Japanese mobile phone operator. During the latter phase, he chaired an international working group that developed mobile phone conformance tests and also chaired the Global Certification Forum when is became a legal entity in 2008. Such work has seen him travel widely and has, at various times, studied French, German, Japanese and Mandarin Chinese none of which prepared him for life in Norfolk when he moved there in 2016! He has a Masters degree in Design of Information Systems and his currently trading as Norfolk’s Data Protection Mardler. Special Guest: Phil Brown. | |||

| 08 Sep 2021 | Episode 31: Challenging the Privacy narrative | 00:41:03 | |
In this episode, we discuss, controversially, why data privacy, including regulations like GDPR, are counterproductive and why we would all be better off without the current notion of data privacy. Our special guest, Ben Malisow, is our 'privacy provocateur' on our show and talks about why he believes we are living an 'illusion of privacy'. Ben has over 30 years experience in information security and education and is currently a professional certification training lead for SGS Cybersecurity Services, a multinational corporation involved in a wide range of product and process certification/validation. Some of Ben’s roles have also included professor of English, a computer teacher for troubled teens as well as his extensive experience working with clients such as FedEx, US Special Forces Command, the United Nations, HSBC, and Barclays.

| 15 Apr 2021 | Episode 28: Digital Vaccine Passports and Certificates? What could possibly go wrong? | 00:47:16 | |
In today’s episode, we are delving into the hot topic of Digital Vaccine Passports and Certificates. We outline the complex mix of technology, privacy and practical issues in a global context. As we did in Episodes 24 & 25, we look at the significant practical, technical and privacy issues surrounding how nation states and governments want to use technology to prove human beings can travel internationally, cross borders in the EU and get access to domestic venues, events, retail outlets and much more besides. Arguably a more complex problem to solve than tracking and tracing individuals. We consider the lack of effectiveness of the Track and Trace apps in the UK & EU and wonder how acceptable solutions can be found for Vaccine Passports and Certificates - a wider problem involving citizens, businesses, medical records and often new and emerging technology. Again, we find ourselves asking the same question: how do we find a rapid and effective way to discuss and agree the extended use of our data to manage this pandemic and halt the damage from lockdowns? We urgently need a forum to be able to have these discussions. As Privacy, Legal and Techology professionals we must contribute to solutions to help support governments to enable better pandemic management. There are far more questions than answers, so this episode will be the start of our journey to keep up to date with developments. GDPR Now!

GDPR Now! is brought to you by This is DPO, www,thisisdpo.co.uk. *Cookies and the GDPR– ICO v CNIL. * About this episode: Host: Mark Sherwood-Edwards of This Is DPO. Material referred to: Here’s the important paragraph from the ICO’s Guidance on the use of cookies and similar technologies (bottom of page 46): The ICO cannot exclude the possibility of formal action in any area. However, it is unlikely that priority for any formal action would be given to uses of cookies where there is a low level of intrusiveness and low risk of harm to individuals. The ICO will consider whether you can demonstrate that you have done everything you can to clearly inform users about the cookies in question and to provide them with clear details of how to make choices. For example, the ICO is unlikely to prioritise first party cookies used for analytics purposes where these have a low privacy risk, or those that merely support the accessibility of sites and services, for regulatory action. Guidance on the use of cookies and similar technologies, ICO Délibération n° 2019-093 du 4 juillet 2019 portant adoption de lignes directrices relatives à l'application de l'article 82 de la loi du 6 janvier 1978 modifiée aux opérations de lecture et écriture dans le terminal d'un utilisateur (notamment aux cookies et autres traceurs), CNIL Opinion 5/2019 on the interplay between the ePrivacy Directive and the GDPR, in particular regarding the competence, tasks and powers of data protection authorities, adopted on 12 March 2019, EDPB.
