Leto automates GDPR compliance [podcast]
Who would have thought that in 2023 it was still possible to get people talking about you (in a good way) thanks to the GDPR? Yet that’s just what Leto, a start-up I invited on my podcast, manages to do. Its ambition is to automate GDPR compliance for organizations. I interviewed its co-founder, Edouard Schlumberger, with whom I traced the genesis of this start-up, which features in the Challenges ranking of the 100 start-ups to follow in...
European GDPR: evolution of the number of complaints per country
Update : 26 juin 2023 How has the number of complaints about personal data changed since the GDPR came into force? We will answer this complex question with unique data, published for the first time.

Personalising customer relations: how to gain trust and data?
The recommendation algorithms promise marketers to achieve their Holy Grail: that of personalised relationships with all their customers at a reasonable price. Since the quality of customer relations is a decisive factor for customer satisfaction and loyalty, algorithmic recommendations, therefore, represent the promise of quality interactions with customers and meaningful marketing actions. However, large-scale customisation can only be achieved by using customer data and the digital traces they leave behind. In a world where privacy awareness...
GDPR : I’ve sent 20 requests on 26 May 2018. Here’s what I’ve learned.
On 26 May 2018 I sent two dozens of requests to various companies to access my data and asked questions on algorithmic treatments, third-party data, … More than 2 months after this first mailshot it’s time to draw the first conclusions. I must say I’m positively surprized by the quality of the answers I got from most companies. Yet it appeared obvious that some companies don’t want to answer your questions and don’t (really) care about...
GDPR : don’t be afraid. Nothing will change.
I was hoping something would change with the introduction of GDPR on May 25th.

I did a little bit of research to find out where this come from and found out that the figure of 75 days worth of reading often cited in the press is erroneous. I did the math and found 30.5 days.

GDPR : these 2 examples prove that US companies are not ready
I gave a keynote speech in February in New-York about the need for US companies to adapt to GDPR. I my discussions with companies over the last 12 months I indeed found out that most companies hadn’t prepared sufficiently (or at all) for GDPR. For a vast majority of companies raising awareness is still a priority and my recent trip to New-York (for the FAT conference) made it clear to me that US companies are mostly...
