About the IAPP

Ryan Chiavetta, CIPP/US

IAPP

Associate Editor

rchiavetta@iapp.org

Ryan Chiavetta, associate editor, produces content for the IAPP’s Daily Dashboard, European Dashboard Digest, Canada Dashboard Digest and Asia-Pacific Dashboard Digest. In addition, Ryan is a regular contributor to the Privacy Tech blog, where he is able to focus on new technologies, and a column in The Privacy Advisor, where he discusses how privacy is treated in pop culture.

Before landing at the IAPP, Ryan was the Online Content Coordinator at HealthLeaders Media and interned as a Boston sports writer for NESN.

When he’s not sitting at his desk, Ryan might be watching the continuous Boston sports renaissance (12 titles since 2001), waiting for the next comic book movie to hit theaters (Suicide Squad is one of the worst movies of all time), listening to music on a record player from the 1970s or enjoying a beer at one of New England’s many fine breweries.
