> The Belgian Data Protection Authority said IAB Europe “was aware of risks linked to non-compliance” and “was negligent”. It also found that IAB Europe had failed to honour its data protection obligations to maintain records of data processing (Article 30 GDPR), to conduct a data protection impact assessment (DPIA) (Article 35 GDPR), and to appoint a Data Protection Officer (Article 37 GDPR).
Even if you were to give IAB the greatest possible benefit of the doubt, the fact that they didn't appoint a data protection officer makes it clear just how little they care(d).
- Tomte 5y agoEven with good salary, who in their right mind would possibly accept the DPO job at IAB? That's pretty much guaranteed legal trouble, because IAB will always try to point their finger at you. Unless you're fresh in the job market and still believe in the good of people, maybe.
- franciscop 5y agoArguably, in a company where the primary purpose is legal there'd be teams of legal experts (lawyers, attorneys, etc) that would be the ones deciding features and wording, not the devs themselves (assuming you mean, "who" as in "what developers", since we are in HN)
- pseingatl 5y agoNormally, you could outsource that function.
