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.

The Office of the Data Protection Authority is honoured to have Elizabeth Renieris, an expert on data governance and the human rights implications of new and emerging technologies, as our 2023 Bijou guest lecturer.
The author of Beyond Data: Reclaiming Human Rights at the Dawn of the Metaverse, her passion for data protection was ignited at university when a classmate hacked into internal residential house directories, scraped the student ID photos of female residents from their pages and pitted the undergraduate women against each other on a website called Facemash. Her classmate was Mark Zuckerberg, who went on to control one of the most powerful companies in the world.
Introduction by Bailiwick of Guernsey Data Protection Commissioner Emma Martins.
