Data is to our age as steam was to the industrial revolution, just rather more intimate as, in extremis, your data reveals you and your life. It needs to be kept secure and it needs to be kept private ‘ few of us would be happy with a world where all our records were available.

But what is privacy? Philosophically, politically, practically and ‘ with the huge EU legislation GDPR on the horizon, regulatory (breaches of which can cost a firm 2-4% of the global revenue of the ultimate parent company).  How can ‘tech’ play a part in this? Can it make squaring all these circles feasible? Can one design data privacy into systems rather than just ‘ice the cake’?

Privitar CEO, Jason du Preez, covers all this and more in the latest London FinTech Podcast “The Science, Art and Regulation of Data Privacy.” Listen here.
