Interview with Des Hogan

Commissioner for Data Protection and Chairperson of Data Protection Commission Ireland

Des Hogan shares his perspectives on main challenges, importance of international cooperation, and priority objective and vision for the year to come. 

“If we place fundamental rights at the centre of how we approach things, we can’t go too far wrong.

Data is becoming such a central part of the global economy. We just have to make sure we’re building a safe ecosystem for the future – not just for us, but for our children and future generations as well.”  Watch the whole interview below!
