Hello all, and happy Thursday!
As you may or may not know, today is American Thanksgiving! Since most of the Osano team is based out of the U.S., our offices are closed today and tomorrow (the 23rd and 24th, respectively).
Thus, this week’s newsletter is a little light as well. That being said, a few data privacy stories have come up on our radar (especially the departure of the Irish Data Protection Commissioner!)
Why not take a look through before the tryptophan from all that turkey puts you to sleep?
Happy Holidays!
Arlo
