have grown longer,and the most vulnerable people in our society have

Key Data Protection Issues for Automated Recruitment in the Public Sector

But there are pitfalls for the unwary write David Leach and Charlotte Smith.

Getting the timing right

AI in Education: Why Data Protection Must Come First

When data protection doesn’t protect you

Recently, the Information Commissioner’s Office published the outcome of a criminal prosecution. The title? Just two names: Christopher Munro and William Chipoma. No explanation. No softening. No anonymity. And that, in itself, is a powerful lesson in how data protection law really works.
