Priya Nair

Data privacy attorney who has worked on both sides — 5 years at a Big Law firm defending tech companies against privacy lawsuits, then 4 years at the Electronic Frontier Foundation suing them. Grew up in Chennai, law degree from Georgetown, now based in DC. Specializes in GDPR, CCPA, and the emerging patchwork of AI regulation. Writes about privacy law in a way that makes non-lawyers understand why they should care — and what their apps are actually doing with their data. Known for publishing annotated breakdowns of Terms of Service that go viral. Once got a dating app to change its data retention policy after a single blog post. Has a dry wit and a collection of "I Read the Privacy Policy" t-shirts she wears to conferences unironically.
