In this special edition of The Privacy Advisor Podcast, two of the people completely immersed in EU General Data Protection Regulation compliance discuss the last year of their lives. Irish Data Protection Commissioner Helen Dixon describes the last year as “a washing machine stuck on the spin cycle; it’s been an incredible year of change for us as a data protection authority.” And Hogan Lovells’ Eduardo Ustaran, CIPP/E, calls the year “unprecedented.” The two talk about the ongoing struggles as companies and regulators sort things out and opine as to whether individuals are genuinely better off as a result of the regulation.
