As a longtime privacy advocate, lawyer, and “certified information privacy professional,” privacy and its accompanying policy debates can become a bunch of shorthanded caricatures — giving me a great excuse to occasionally mix my love of doodling with my job.

My first attempt at whipping up a sort of privacy bingo board was for the 2014 White House Big Data Report:

My colleague Grant Nelson, then at the Network Advertising Initiative, liked the concept and was looking for his own excuse to code. We combined our interests and quickly drew and designed Privacy Bingo, a collection of tropes and buzzwords that come up in every privacy panel and discussion. We launched the project ahead of the 2017 IAPP Global Privacy Summit. The website is now gone, relegated to a half-functional Internet Archive shadow.

But, I still love the doodles I made in the process, and I think the spirit of Privacy Bingo animates much of my approach to working in privacy and public policy. That’s to say that a self-indulgent website highlighting my professional accomplishments feels incomplete with putting some unprofessional privacy doodles front and center.
