Speaker:

Melissa Van Buhler, Cybersecurity & Data Privacy Attorney, FocalLaw, LLP Data Privacy: Who owns Your Personal Data? Data Privacy is daily news—Equifax, Capital One, etc.—but what are we actually talking about? As individuals, we have rights over our physical property but much less say over ownership of our personal information. As we consider the efforts of other countries to protect their citizens’ personal information and the efforts of some States to create private rights of action regarding personal information, we have to ask ourselves how we got here. Our government has clear rules about protecting our individual data from government interference, but few rules exist for corporations processing our personal data, both internally and externally. And with and without our consent. Rules have evolved to protect our money and health records, but not the details that define our lives, for example, our credit histories. Corporations are selling our information to one another to make money off us in ways we cannot imagine, could not foresee, and are seemingly outside of our government’s control. Moving most of our daily lives online and into the cloud has had effects we could not have predicted or imagined. Where do we go from here? Bio: Melissa is an expert on cybersecurity, privacy, and regulatory compliance whose key strength is helping organizations achieve cyber resiliency grounded in legal and regulatory compliance. Before joining Newman Du Wors in 2018, she served more than fifteen years as a Judge Advocate General officer in the United States Army where she supported top-secret operations at the National Security Agency (NSA), United States Cyber Command, and United States Army Special Operations Command. During her tenure, Melissa gained unique insights into worldwide vulnerabilities to cyberattacks and helped develop best practices to combat them. She advised on the complex data lifecycle from collection, storage, and sharing within and among intelligence agencies. Her data privacy expertise is grounded in working with all types of intelligence information, particularly signals intelligence data. Melissa earned a master of laws in Information Technology & Intellectual Property from University of Colorado, Boulder in between assignments with intelligence organizations. She is also a combat veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom having served one year with the 4^th Infantry Division at Camp Taji, Iraq from 2005 – 2006.
