Advertise on podcast: not another privacy podcast

Joined by Laura O'Neill as we discuss the Asos Breach, care home CCTV, the Fonagy Review and human bias in news reporting.

This week Tash and Simon are joined by the Henry Cavil of data protection, Ralph O'Brien* talking about his fabulous Serious Privacy Boardgame. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/seriousprivacy/serious-privacy-the-data-game *(Bry-on, not Brie-on)

This week Tash and Simon explore the how algorithms dictate and distort what news we see, recording devices in public, personal safety tech, and the role lived experience.

Tash and Simon are joined by data protection legend Darren Hampton. We talk about how difficult it can be to delineate controllers and processors in complex contractual arrangements, the trickiness of consistent knowledge management, and confirm that our issues mainly stem from the group known as 'people'.

In this episode we talk about delivering training, buying presents ahead of time, Microsoft's changes to Teams archiving, and asking, 'how do we make sure employees have integrity and honesty?'. (you can't).

Simon and Tash are joined by Education data protection extraordinaire, Claire Archibald. We talk through (more) on SARs, delve into the world of schools, preparing for complaints, handling complaints, and some questions from Tim Turner's DPO Daily Challenge.

We "survived" the summer only to talk about the ever-growing deep dark pit of subject access requests. Simon laughs, and Tash describes the sound of a fingerprint reader if they had sounds.

This week Tash and Simon are joined by the fabulous Tim Turner. We cauterise our catharses; the EU AI Act and other hype trains departing from the station of woe, and AI use by counterparties creating more work. We also go down a PECR rabbit role, Simon gets something wrong (surprising no-one), including the new charity opt-out, and direct marketing for the public sector.

This week Simon and Tash chat through the difference between guidance and law, and what a DPO should try to achieve. We use a question from Tim Turner's excellent book, DPO Daily Challenge. Hand on heart, this book is brilliant. Simon thinks the ICO got something wrong. Again. Sorry.

This week Tash and Simon are joined by renowned Welsh hero, and friend of the show, James Robson. James lets rip into DPIA templates, Tash vents about performative paperwork, and Simon gets cross about short-sighted policy wonks. We also talk about how we find work, Ivor the Engine, Schremsy, and AI in the Amos Report. There was also an unusual number of sirens and a helicopter.

In the week when Burnham's victory and Starmer's resignation screened the news of Edward's, we wonder whether his self-portrait will stand the test of time (probably not). As the due date for NHS DSPT submission close in, we discuss all things DSPT.

Simon & Tash chat through fearmongering, complaints, 16s social media ban, Thomas the Tank Engine, critical thinking, Marks and Spencer slippers, and who we would pick as the next Information Commissioner.

This week we answer a question from a listener about the data protection job market. We also chat through global data supply chain infrastructure and the dependencies on big tech, and whether we really have any choice. Also books. We talk about books. Again. We're so [not] sorry.

Tash and Simon are joined by Suze Phillips for a majestic meandering through standards in public life, AI, book recommendations, and web-filtering,

This week Simon encounters gross incompetence, and we discuss the single patient record - do the public really care as much as we think they do about how data is used?
