Jacob Feder: Data Clean Rooms, revisited
Sun Feb 01 2026
It is time to revisit Data Clean Rooms, having dedicated seven previous episodes to the topic across both the English and Spanish-language channels. The convergence of advanced data management techniques, more mature Privacy Enhancing Technologies, and sophisticated 1st-party data-based collaboration scenarios (on the back of AI, retail media, and Connected TV) already call for frequent updates. This is now accompanied by a more nuanced legal analysis that will benefit from the recent EDPS v. SRB (CJEU) case (on the relative nature of “personal data”).
Some common, burning questions that you will find answered in this episode: How do you apply Joint Controllership agreements to the various stages in common business cases? How to handle more complex relationships involving two or more parties?
