New Episode: The IDPC Podcast – GDPR and data processing

01 April 2026

In the latest episode of the Information and Data Protection Commissioner (IDPC) Podcast series, we continue our journey into the world of data protection by exploring one of the most fundamental aspects of the GDPR - data processing.

Hosted by Franco Aloisio, Head of Communications at the IDPC, this episode features an insightful discussion with Ingrid Camilleri, Head Legal at the IDPC.

Together, they unpack:
🔹 The true purpose and scope of the GDPR
🔹 What qualifies as personal data (and what doesn’t)
🔹 Whether the GDPR applies to deceased persons
🔹 What “processing” of data really means in practice
🔹 The key principles organisations must follow
🔹 The scope of the GDPR — including its limitations and exemptions

Often seen as a legal hurdle, the GDPR is in reality a cornerstone of trust and a key business enabler in today’s data-driven world.
