Privacy Lawls Donata Stroink-Skillrud

Privacy rights are the cornerstone of how people can keep control of their personal information and there's no one better to talk to about this than Michael Power. 

Several privacy laws require you to get consent before collecting the personal information of website users (emails, phone numbers, names, IP addresses, etc.) It's extremely common for websites to fail to get proper consent (even though they think they're doing it correctly). We chat with Elizabeth Donkervoort (the Program Director at the American Bar Association’s Center for Global Programs at the Rule of Law Initiative) and Lani Victoria Q. Vinas (the Legal Director at SHUSAKU·YAMAMOTO, named as 2023 Japan IP Law Firm of the Year by the Asian Legal Business) about the proper way to get consent. 

The healthcare industry collects some of our most private data. Are current laws like HIPPA good enough to keep that data safe from others? What about the growing popularity of health apps? Should you use them? We talk with Helen Oscislawski who has been advising healthcare clients for over two decades on privacy law. 

On this Data Privacy Week episode we talk: > "The Office"... but instead of a paper company, it's a scamming company? > How to take control of your privacy> The 80-20 problem And more! 

Who are Data Controllers and Data Processors and what exactly do they do? We sit down with Odia Kagan, Chair of GDPR Compliance and International Privacy at Fox Rothschild LLP to figure it out. 

What does it mean for a website to collect data? What about sharing data? Selling data? These are all real realities of today's online world, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're bad. We discuss when it's ok and when it's maybe not so ok on today's episode.
