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.

For this year's Bijou Lecture join Dr Vicki Nash for an exploration of online safety issues for children.
In this year’s lecture she shares her insights with the ODPA’s Data Protection Commissioner Brent Homan.
They start off by discussing how keeping children safe in the digital era means striking a delicate balance between our parental urge to protect them and the importance of empowering them.
They move on to explore the need for parents and children to openly share their experiences and knowledge with each other, and how education leaders play a critical role in empowering young people to be safer online.
Moving to the role of regulation, they explore the implications of the Online Safety Act which was passed into UK law in October 2023.
Finally, they take an imaginary trip to the year 2054, to imagine how today’s children will look back, as adults, on the actions (and inactions) of today’s tech giants, parents, and policymakers.
