Hello, I'm Dunstan B.

I'm the director of a privacy consultancy and former privacy lawyer with 15+ years of cross-sector expertise (legal​,​ banking​,​ telecoms​,​ tech​,​ government). I transform complex privacy regulations into practical and pragmatic business-friendly compliance solutions. I have experience dealing with the most sensitive and high-risk privacy issues including privacy litigation linked to global counter-terrorism policing and murder investigations​,​ as well as all privacy aspects of the UK judge-led Public Inquiries into phone-hacking (Leveson) and under-cover policing (Pitchford​/​Mitting). I also have significant experience supporting businesses at all stages of growth​,​ from rapidly scaling start-ups to global tech companies going through investor due diligence processes​,​ heavily regulated banking and telecoms providers operating across the APAC region​,​ to central government departments facing regulatory scrutiny. I have extensive experience in all aspects of privacy programme development and operations​,​ working with internal cross functional teams​,​ C-suite execs​,​ as well as the UK ICO and the NZ OPC. I can provide white-label services to other professional consultancies​,​ and ad hoc or fractional Data Protection Officer support to established privacy compliance teams that need extra capacity. I have a particular interest in supporting NZ and Australian businesses who provide global services to comply with their GDPR and other privacy obligations​,​ focusing on risk tolerance and business needs.
