?? Let’s dare to question the primacy of the right to the protection of personal data, and see what comes of it. A little pragmatism, perhaps, given that data protection is not absolute? Here’s my summary for the “too long; didn’t read” crowd: (but really, read the whole article!) – GDPR compliance is the justification […]
Let the name-calling begin. Companies looking to leverage data are now told that it is just like they are responsible for oil spills, cancer and drug cartel violence. As a lawyer working for some of the companies facing these absurd comparisons, I thought I would tackle another controversial stance now: just how absolute (or relative) […]
Very interesting (and non-dogmatic) outcome here of a question on the extent to which a person can waive data subject rights. 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!

Let’s look at some of the findings […]
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. Yet old information is less valuable for […]
Illustration: Dall-E rendering of just how potentially evil the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) and certain privacy rights campaigners view the “Pay or Consent” approach + large companies.
