S2 Episode 03 - SARs and The John Edwards Files

Hosts Scott Sammons and Laura Palmariello break down the world of subject access requests (SARs), why they’re more complex than they seem, and how AI is changing who asks and how requests are made.

In this episode of The Rest Is Data, Scott Sammons is joined by privacy professional Laura Palmariello for a practical, lively conversation about subject access requests, AI, and the growing complexity of handling sensitive employee data. They break down what requesters think they’ll receive versus what they’re actually entitled to, how AI is changing the way people draft and escalate requests, and why transparency, proportionality, and good judgment matter more than ever.
