This is the PrivacyX Consulting Substack.

Coming soon...

Launching in July 2023 this newsletter will digest and analyse selected key issues related to data protection or digital regulation, including AI. I’ll give my perspective on regulation and policy, and digest other key pieces of analysis and research that are driving the issues I’ve read about in the last month.

By subscribing you’ll also get hear my about my current research outputs, including my work as a Visiting Policy Fellow at the Oxford Internet Institute, focused on the impact of social media recommender systems on children and how regulation should respond.

A bit about me: I’m Steve Wood, former UK Deputy Information Commissioner and Chair of the OECD Working Party on Data Governance and Privacy. I founded PrivacyX Consulting in April 2022 to advise and support clients with strategy and policy related to data protection, online safety and digital regulation. I work with private sector and public sector clients, in the UK and globally.
