Cybersecurity litigation is currently at a crossroads. Courts have struggled in these cases, coming out in wildly inconsistent ways about whether a data breach causes harm.

Locating Personal Data and Tracking Privacy Rights: An Interview with Dimitri Sirota
One of the biggest challenges for organizations is locating all the personal data they have.

The Supreme Court on Smart Phones: An Interview of Bart Huffman about Law and Technology
The U.S. Supreme Court has been notoriously slow to tackle new technology. In 2002, Blackberry launched its first smart phone.

Article 7 provides further guidance about consent, including the data subject’s right to withdraw consent.

Yet, it is often quite thin and incomplete. As I wrote a few years ago about privacy by design, “The ‘privacy’ the designers have in mind might be […]
