The Data Diva E292 - Rowenna Fielding and Debbie Reynolds

Episode notes

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of The Data Diva Talks Privacy , Debbie Reynolds, "The Data Diva" speaks with Rowenna Fielding, Director of Miss IG Geek, about data ethics, privacy, governance, and the human impact of how organizations collect and use data. Rowenna shares her unconventional path into privacy, beginning in theater and information technology before eventually specializing in information governance, data protection, and data ethics. She explains how her work evolved as she became increasingly interested not only in legal compliance but also in the broader consequences of the way organizations make decisions about people using data. The conversation explores the distinction between compliance and ethics, and why organizations often assume that following policies, regulations, or technical controls automatically leads to ethical outcomes. Rowenna argues that data is not neutral or objective but is instead the product of human choices, incentives, and assumptions.
