PrivacyPod #6: Hard Times, Hard Supplementary Measures with Trevor Hughes
Hot off the press! In this week’s episode we go through our very first reactions to EDPB’s final recommendations on supplementary measures, the most awaited document of this year. Is it risk based approach now, or not so much? We also chat about UK’s adequacy decision and reflect upon how the new standard contractual clauses should be viewed in the current landscape of international data transfers. This episode features a very special guest! Panu and Milla are joined by Trevor Hughes, President and CEO of the IAPP. We talk about Trevor’s career in privacy, IAPP’s role in fostering the privacy profession and IAPP’s return to live events this year. Also included in the episode is a wonderful motivational speech from Trevor on what keeps him going as a privacy professional. And of course, we could not let Trevor go without going through our GDPR Quiz. Listen in for his impressive results!

PrivacyPod #5: New SCCs in Town
Welcome to another episode of PrivacyPod, this week with our resident cookie monster Heikki Tolvanen and Milla Keller. Heikki is excited about ice hockey (Milla is not), Milla is excited about the new SCCs (Heikki is not). We discuss German data protection authorities joint efforts in auditing Schrems II compliance, a class action against TikTok in the Netherlands, and Garante’s blocking of the covid app in Italy. Listen in also for our view on the latest decision from the Finnish supervisory authority, which makes us just ask… Why? In the episode you can also hear the poorest pep talk in human history, and the above mentioned excitement from Heikki… Well, let’s just say Finnish guys express emotion in very subtle ways.
