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.

Joining forces to put the Channel Islands on the global privacy map
Storytelling is one of the most effective ways of sharing knowledge and can be a powerful tool to inspire change. Project Bijou is the Office of the Data Protection Authority’s social initiative, which aims to harness the power of shared experiences and stories to promote ethical data use and engage people on a cultural level.
In this Project Bijou podcast, Guernsey Data Protection Commissioner Brent Homan sits down with his counterpart, Jersey’s Information Commissioner Paul Vane, to discuss the shared opportunities and challenges of overseeing data protection and privacy legislation within smaller jurisdictions which are also global financial centres.
They talk about how regulatory co-operation can help overcome technological challenges, promote compliance and amplify their ability to protect privacy rights in the Channel Islands.
