NICE TO MEET YOU!
I'm Rie
– founder of the DPO Hub and co-host of the popular Grumpy GDPR podcast.
Earlier, I've acted as Privacy Officer for Fathom Analytics (Canada), Fractional CPO for Quizrr (Sweden), external DPO for Postmark and Demio (US) and Interim DPO for Kristiania University College (Norway).
Over the years, I've worked directly with over 100 organisations in the Nordics, across the EEA and in Asia. I think it's fair to say I've done most under the GDPR. Hands-on, nitty-gritty experience.
Today, I'm a full-time in-house DPO at a 🇳🇴 national e-health solutions service provider responsible for facilitating secure and efficient electronic interactions in the healthcare sector.
I've read countless CJEU rulings – painstakingly building an Obsidian vault with all data protection-related rulings since 1969 (soon 300) – and since 2018 shared 700+ LinkedIn posts and articles with relevant updates.
As a volunteer for noyb since 2020, I've summarised 76 cases for their GDPRhub (first and only Purple status country reporter). This time-consuming, meticulour work has given me deep insights into how DPAs and courts deal with the GDPR, in practice.
I'm not just interested in privacy and data protection, I'm obsessed!
I created the DPO Hub because I was fed up with EDPB’s messy website and InfoCuria’s awful search. And while the GDPRhub is great for research, summaries are done on a volunteer basis and prone to inaccuracies. I also realised that my detailed, facts-based notes with practical takeaways were hugely useful to others. On LinkedIn, people started to ask for my highlighed files.
I created the DPO Hub because it's what I missed and needed as a DPO myself.
And now, instead of wasting time and being as frustrated as I was, you can get relevant updates of key news, clear summaries, topic pages – an OSS for all things consent, DSARs etc. – easy access to key documents, a search that actually works and a powerful filter function. All in one place. Curated and created by a human.
You will save time. You'll likely stay more sane. And you'll become part of a truly unique, global network of peers. I look forward to welcoming you aboard!
