It is people, not laws, that drive privacy. What about privacy makes it universal across the world and throughout history? How do non-Western societies demonstrate how individuals, communities and civilizations instinctively cherish privacy? How did the Ancient Romans solve universal and timeless privacy problems around maintaining and verifying identity?
This podcast series, Privacy across Time and Space, was inspired by a panel discussion at the Venice Privacy Symposium in May 2025. In it we hear from global privacy leaders Alex White (Privacy Commissioner, Bermuda PrivCom), Alexandra Delaney Bhattacharya (Isle of Man Information Commissioner) and Shana Morgan (Global Head of AI, L3Harris Tech). as they share inspiring stories of privacy as both an inalienable right and a practical solution that transcends global, political, and socio-economic boundaries.
In this concluding episode, Bailiwick Data Protection Commissioner Brent Homan discusses why privacy is more than just a compendium of laws, with a deep historical and philosophical foundation that has shaped, over time, the principles and rights that we embrace today.

A conversation with ODPA summer work programme intern Maddy Russell
Guernsey student Madelaine Russell was the 2024 beneficiary of a prestigious bursary which has transported her to the other side of the world and changed her horizons. Each year, just one sixth form student from the Bailiwick is eligible for a fully funded place at Brock University in Ontario as part of the historic links between Canada and Guernsey.
In this ODPA podcast, the political science student sits down for a conversation with Bailiwick Data Protection Commissioner Brent Homan – who just so happens to hail from Canada. They discuss life in a cold climate, how her interest in public outreach and human rights led to her becoming the first successful applicant of the ODPA’s new intern programme and their common love of sports.
