About this episode's guest:
Calli Schroeder is an attorney in privacy/data security, as well as a privacy advocate and self-described "die-hard nerd." Her brief stint as a wedding singer led her to wonder if she had violated copyright law, an interest which transitioned to tech law broadly and privacy law specifically. While in law school, Schroeder interned for FTC Commissioner Julie Brill, published an article on consent issues and IRBs in the Colorado Technology Law Journal, among other accomplishments distinctions. She developed a focus on consumer protection issues, surveillance, data breaches, and freaking people out at parties.
Among the certifications she holds are privacy designations for the U.S., Europe, and Canada.
She tweets as @Iwillleavenow.
