Where she advises Fortune 500 companies on data privacy issues. And Debbie Reynolds, welcome to Chicago Tonight. Have you been getting those messages about new privacy policies and so forth that you have to accept before you can continue on their website?
I have, and everyone will probably continue to get them.
For some time. Yes. So let's start at the beginning. What exactly is the GDPR, the General Data Protection Regulation? What is it?

She's connected to everyone, always on top of the issues, and constantly creating value for business owners and the greater privacy community. Data privacy, ethical innovation, artificial intelligence governance— these aren't just buzzwords. They're battlegrounds for the future of business and leadership, and no one navigates them with more clarity and conviction than Debbie Reynolds, founder and CEO of Debbie Reynolds Consulting and host of the number one global privacy podcast, The Data Diva Talks Privacy. Light bulb.
