OT VAN DAALEN

My law firm Root Legal supports companies, organisations and citizens in complex legal challenges. I have extensive experience advising organisations on privacy regulations (like the GDPR), cybersecurity regulations (like NIS2), and the application of human rights... As an academic, I research and teach at the Institute for Information Law of the University of Amsterdam. My research is focused on the relationships between privacy, information security and human rights. I also teach an annual masters course on privacy and data protection... In my work, I focus on urgent questions relating to the security of our digital infrastructure. Can governments introduce backdoors in WhatsApp? May information security experts scan computers for weaknesses? Should organisations adopt new kinds of encryption which are resistant to quantum computers? And under what conditions is the export of surveillance technologies allowed?
