Rubbish at Twitter. Tweets generally about #privacy, #GDPR, #technology. Partner & lawyer leading on #dataprotection matters @DWF_Law. Opinions are my own.

A sigh of relief for businesses? Time to read the AJ’s Opinion.

Very funny @Iwillleavenow

Privacy violations in fiction: forcing a bunch of teenagers to fight a boggart - thereby revealing their absolute deepest fear - in front of their peers is a horrifying existential, emotional, and psychological privacy violation.

Has anyone used the CNIL’s PIA tool? I’d be interested to know your experiences.

[CNIL_en @CNIL_en]

🆕 We just release the version 2.1 of the PIA software ! This free tool aims to help data controllers build and demonstrate compliance to the #GDPR → https://t.co/bs1F1MhPob

A big bone can grow on the back of your head from too much time on social media/hunching over your phone.

Time to get outside in the ☀️☀️, exercise 🏃‍♂️, mow the lawn🌼🌸🌾, eat good food 🍔🍟 & spend time with the family 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦.

Hope you all have good plans & no #databreaches

Horn-like bone spurs are appearing in young people's skulls. The cause? It might be their smartphones. https://t.co/cfF2A4KLfL

Is #privacy so vast as a subject that it is now too hard for one person to stay on top of? Do we now need a #privacyhivemind approach to help #privacypros deal with it? Here are my thoughts. We are the #privacyborg. 🤖🚀🛸

Even though we are past the #GDPR programme boom, #privacy transformation continues for many organisations. It’s something that never really stops as new technology and data uses come online. Great tips from @StewartRoom for how approach privacy transformation and projects.

[James Drury-Smith @jamesdrurysmith]

#Privacypros if your procurement or marketing team want to talk to you about Nimses, you know it’s going to be a long day 😂😀 or perhaps just 🏃‍♂️ You get paid for every minute you stay online sharing #personaldata https://t.co/JPQn97qNbm… Thanks @ReclaimNet for making me aware.

[James Drury-Smith @jamesdrurysmith]

#Privacy controls frameworks are still maturing in the market - but a good one should cover your privacy objectives, the activities to deliver on those objectives and the evidence that is required to demonstrate that those objectives are being met.

I had the pleasure of meeting with Stewart Room, Global Practice leader at PWC, who amazed me! He told me that their vision for data privacy was “Journey to Code” — wow! I’ve been talking about the need to bake privacy into the code for years, but “journey to code” beats it!

I think soon it will be easier to have stupid devices rather than smart ones. Smart TVs are fantastic for telly addicts like me but performing a regular virus check - I think I’ll dig out my old VHS box set of Friends instead. https://t.co/ssJvVZqjuA

Come join us as we discuss the next stage of #GDPR - validating that you have comprehensive #dataprotection controls in place.

[Stephan Geering (mainly on Bluesky) @stephangeering]

Detailed report on GDPR implementation from @accessnow. Highly recommended for privacy folks working across EU Members States. HT @gabrielazanfir https://t.co/rifjWnOq2o

[James Drury-Smith @jamesdrurysmith]

Some thoughts from me on drafting privacy notices, following EU findings that although 60% of us read #privacy notices - only 13% of us read them fully. #GDPR. https://t.co/AkpP9ZEf6a

[European Commission @EU_Commission]

Helping Europeans regain control over their personal data is one of our biggest priorities.
But, of the 60% Europeans who read their privacy statements, only 13% read them fully.
Use your #dataprotection rights.
