Privacy Insider: Thanksgiving Edition

Happy American Thanksgiving and Native American Heritage Day! We’re sending Privacy Insider out a day early this week as the Osano team will be off celebrating the holiday this Thursday and Friday.

We’ve brought you your usual serving of privacy news and stories, but I’ll keep the editorial short and sweet this week. Whether you’re celebrating the holiday or not, I hope you get to spend some quality with your friends and family. The Osano team will be back in the office on Monday, the 28th, and we’ll return to our regular schedule for Privacy Insider (at least until Christmas!)

Best,
