A WEEKLY NEWSLETTER ON DATA PRIVACY
I'm Daniel. I'm a technology director and certified data protection officer based in Amman, Jordan. Most professional development on data privacy is a workshop you don't have time for. This is the version that fits in your inbox. Once a week, on what your tools are doing with your data.

Nobody is going to call you
On the harm that lands long after you’ve left, and why the people responsible for it are almost never the ones who find out.
Twenty years in international schools, across four countries. Somewhere in each one is data I touched and then left behind. A vendor contract I signed. A drive I reorganised. A system I configured.
If something I set up a decade ago goes wrong next year, nobody is going to call me. I won't be there. That's the part of student data nobody quite reckons with. The harm, and the person who could have prevented it, almost never sit in the same place at the same time.
Issue 011 is about the mistake that lands on someone else long after you've gone, somewhere you'll never see.
