PrivacyPod #7: Hot Privacy Summer

Jul 21, 2021

PrivacyPod awakens from its summer slumber for an episode of the latest news in the privacy-verse. It should be no surprise to anyone that summer usually means big privacy news.

This year around we haven’t (luckily) received any new ground-breaking, privacy-world-shattering rulings from the highest court in the EU, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t other important stuff to cover.

Listen in for our review of a couple of guidelines from supervisory authorities and reactions to Facebook’s proceedings on various fronts regarding their use of Whatsapp data. And is there going to be and episode next week? Nobody knows.
