November 2022 Webinar: An Introduction to Data Privacy

MBPR was pleased to welcome keynote speaker Claire Cucchi for a thorough introduction to data privacy as part of our November 2022 webinar. She guided a discussion on data privacy’s increased importance, a review of the collection and sharing of data, and steps companies can take to build and/or improve their data privacy programs.

Claire brings over 20 years of senior-level operations experience to Capstone, a leading content creator for digital solutions, children’s books, and literacy programs for school libraries, classrooms, and at-home reading. Before joining Capstone, where she currently serves as the company’s Data Privacy Administrator, Claire designed, implemented, and maintained the data privacy program for Buncee, a digital creation & communication tool for students, teachers, and administrators. There she ensured that Buncee maintained compliance with contractual obligations as well as federal, state, and international regulations. Claire continues to prioritize the protection of personal information by driving process change and privacy-driven policies, in addition to supporting practices that provide transparency, data minimization and limitation, and an individual’s right to control the use of their personal information. Claire studied International Business and Finance at American University in Washington, DC, and also served as a council member for the Eastern Suffolk BOCES School Library System.
