Digital Health Diagnosed Episode 7: Who Owns Your Data?! Privacy & Consumer Rights with CEO, App Developer, and Consumer Activist James Walker.

In this episode, we analyze how our personal data gets monetized, who owns our data, what we should be worried about when it comes to privacy, and what are the key issues facing consumers and users of digital apps today.

Dr. Rachael Kent (@drdigitalhealth) and James Walker dive deep into data breach horror stories. Does privacy exist anymore if we use apps to manage our everyday lives? We explore what regulation do we need to protect consumers' personal data, and should the government be doing more? Or is there a better way to control your data? We finish up with top tips for consumers on how to be careful with their personal data, and protecting their privacy!

James Walker is the Founder of both Resolver and Jamdoughnut, currently CEO of Rightly helping consumers to effectively use their data and also serving as a board member for Consumer Scotland and the Dispute Resolution Ombudsman and on the consumer panels for Civil Aviation Authority and the Office of Rail and Road, as well as on the Civil Justice Council.
