Suddenly general audiences in the EU are hearing about AI legislation in the news, and high-risk systems present a risk to… privacy (really, that’s the only angle being put forward in some news outlets). As if the GDPR didn’t contain anything that can be (and is) used to manage the data protection aspects of AI […]

What a week! So what’s next? After 3 speaker slots at CPDP2024 (featuring some of the most heated exchanges of the entire conference), one webinar, and loads of really good discussions on the biggest data protection topics (“Pay or OK”, “Advertising, data protection and AI”, “balancing of fundamental rights: protection of personal data vs/with freedom […]
Data protection “case law” suffers from a lack of appeals, which emboldens authorities to reuse a questionable position and make it seem like the law. Case in point?

Self-determination and the non-absolute nature of data protection rights are topics that will very likely give rise to more discussion in the future! gdpr data protection privacy Thanks Dr. Carlo Piltz for highlighting it!
So, about the Dutch DPA scraping guidelines: based on my experience, they are just wrong. I know they have gone viral in the data protection & AI circles, but they are based on premises about scraping that might not align with best practices. Why? First, much in the scraping guidelines of the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (AP) […]
Out of the blue, I just received an invitation to apply for a job as Tax legal advisor. Contrary to their belief (hopefully not yours), I have developed a different kind of expertise (maybe I should offer my services to help them improve their understanding of their data). If, unlike them, you think I might […]
Expect a lot of misinformation regarding AG Rantos’s Opinion of today in the CJEU case regarding Schrems v Meta. Why? (i) Some campaigners are claiming that this is a victory on question 2*, because the advertising industry would allegedly keep years and years of data for advertising purposes.
