What its like to be a Privacy Counsel

Post by Anonymous User » Sat Mar 14, 2020 5:51 pm

Hi,

I am currently the only in-house counsel for a small tech company in silicon valley. Since a lot of my work now is related to privacy compliance, and my self has just started learning this area, can anybody who is in this area share your experience and what your work looks like? It'd also be great if you could share your exp with GDPR and CCPA, like working with the engineers and convincing the company for compliance, etc.

Thanks!

I’m privacy counsel at a public tech company. I’d be happy to PM you if you’ll post non-anonymously (maybe with a burner account?) but don’t want to get into too much detail on the board.

Not privacy counsel myself, but our current privacy counsel/officer has to work a lot with our internal cybersecurity/information security team, compliance (obviously), and information systems engineers to ensure company compliance. They also have to review a lot of contracts with GDPR/CCPA implications.
