Privacy Lawls

Modern cars are computers on wheels. They track your acceleration, braking, driving habits, location, commonly-used apps, text messages, phone calls, conversations, etc. Some manufacturers say they may keep tabs on your sex life... wait, what?! To make matters worse, several manufacturers have been caught selling this data to data brokers or insurance companies (that have changed people's rates based on driving data).So, should you buy a new car? If you have a new car, how can you opt out of all this? To discuss all this, we have Andrea Amico, founder of Privacy4Cars

Privacy has become a major issue in today's world. So, what is it like getting into the profession in 2024? We speak with Landon who is starting his journey as a privacy professional. We talk what got him into it. What does schooling look like for it? What jobs are available? etc. 

On today's episode, we discuss one of the biggest topics in privacy right now, CIPA. CIPA is a privacy law created 30 years ago to help protect people's privacy while using the phone. However, it has recently been reinterpreted by courts to impact website owners. Now, businesses big and small (even 1-person businesses) are being sued across the United States by attorneys looking to take advantage of the confusion. Our guest, today is Jason Kelly. Jason is a Partner at Annaguey McCann, a litigation law firm in Los Angeles, who uses his experience in complex commercial disputes to help companies resolve disruptive lawsuits and find pragmatic solutions aligned with their goals. Jason litigates individual cases and class actions involving claims of fraud, anticompetitive behavior, and more. This year, the Los Angeles Business Journal recognized him as a Leader of Influence for Litigators & Trial Attorneys; and the Daily Journal named him as one of the “Top Artificial Intelligence Attorneys.” Jason is also a Certified Information Privacy Professional and Artificial Intelligence Governance Professional. He has helped clients respond to and litigate claims of CIPA violations. Email: jason@annagueymccann.comLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/jasonykelly

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. 

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. 

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.
