I am stoked (as we say here in Australia!) to be writing my first introduction to the APAC Dashboard Digest as the recently elected President of iappANZ. Over the coming months, our talented board members will be taking turns in writing this and sharing their insights into that week’s privacy news and events.

Over lunch the other day with friends, we were commenting on how rare it is these days for visitors to just pop by on the off chance that you were home and why that is the case. Ultimately, it’s pretty simple really — if I want to see or speak to someone I don’t even have to get out of my seat; I just pick up my phone and within seconds I can be video chatting with my family down the road or overseas. Our connected world is pretty awesome, but, as we all know, there comes with it privacy implications for us all. That's one of the reasons I really enjoyed the Power of Privacy documentary from psychologist and journalist Aleks Krotoski. It’s definitely worth a watch regardless of whether or not you’re a privacy professional.

Have a great week everyone. If you have any questions about the iappANZ or would like to contact me, please drop us a note.
