New Year, New Data! How to make a fresh start

How do you make a fresh start in life if “everyone” keeps old data on you? Can “they” not simply forget about you and your data?

In January, we’ll discuss how to request that data held on you be erased and what limitations (real, perceived or imposed) you may come across.

What was your experience when requesting to delete your data?

Share your experiences in our members’ event on 27th January 2026 at 16:00 UTC.

Take #2: Data privacy and innovation

Due to a technical issue, we couldn’t have a call in October. That is why we are moving the proposed topic to our November event.

A recent article in TechXplore titled “AI innovation drops under EU data regulations, researcher says” (https://techxplore.com/news/2025-10-ai-eu.html) got me thinking about why this connection is and whether there is more to it?

Reading into the topic, it appears there is more to the story.

What is your opinion?

Share your insights in our online event on 25th November 2025 at 16:00 UTC.

How to participate in data privacy legislation

How often do you engage with policy makers on data privacy issues? Have you ever wanted to input into the decision making? How go about it though?
Here is one example:

An article in the American Bankers Association titled “House committee seeks input on data privacy, possible legislation” caught my attention since it highlights that the possibility to help shape what data privacy will look like going forward:

“Interested members of the public may send their comments and answers to the questions below by August 28, 2025, to fsc119@mail.house.gov.“

You can find the house committee press release here: https://financialservices.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=410833

There you have it. Yes, you can participate and shape policy if you are a member of the interested public. In this case, you have until 28th August to get your voice heard.

Privacy Policies – take two

Given that we changed the May topic on short notice, we will talk about Privacy Policies in our June 2025 event.

Privacy policies are everywhere – but who is actually reading them? And if you are reading them, do you actually understand them? If yes, do you agree with them?

In June, we will talk about privacy policies, their actual purpose and what they should tell us as a very minimum.

We will also highlight the good, the bad and the ugly examples out there. This one will be entertaining.
