In this week's episode, I sat down with Jake Ottenwaelder, Principal Privacy Engineer at Integrative Privacy LLC. Throughout our conversation, we discuss Jake’s holistic approach to privacy implementation that considers business, engineering, and personal objectives, as well as the role of anonymization, consent management, and DSAR processes for greater privacy.
Jake believes privacy implementation must account for the interconnectedness of privacy technologies and human interactions. He highlights what a successful implementation looks like and the negative consequences when done poorly. We also dive into the challenges of implementing privacy in fast-paced, engineering-driven organizations. We talk about the complexities of anonymizing data (a very high bar) and he offers valuable suggestions and strategies for achieving anonymity while making the necessary resources more accessible. Plus, Jake shares his advice for organizational leaders to see themselves as servant-leaders, leaving a positive legacy in the field of privacy.
