Phaselaw's Law Blog

The legal tech industry has exploded in recent years as AI use cases in legal have become clear. But ironically, eDiscovery — one of the largest and most well-established legal tech categories — has seen relatively little startup activity. Legacy eDiscovery incumbents have begun to adopt AI features, but it’s not enough. To truly build a category defining product in the AI-native world, you need to build it from the ground up. That's why we're thrilled to announce we've raised $2.8M in funding to fuel our growth and expand our product capabilities.

Last week the Phaselab team attended the IAPP’s Global Privacy Summit, and one of the most interesting sessions we saw was a great panel on HR-related privacy. For companies with global workforces, managing employee privacy in compliance with local privacy laws is incredibly complex, and we wanted to highlight a few of the most important takeaways for our team. If your company has a global workforce or if you’re thinking of expanding globally, read on!

Before starting Phaselab, I spent the previous 11 years working in data science and analytics. More than perhaps any other group, data practitioners have enormous effects on their users’ privacy — deciding what data will be stored, where that data will be housed, how it’ll be transformed and incorporated into models, and whether and when it will be deleted.

At Phaselab we’re on a mission to make it easy for companies to build compliant and respectful privacy programs at scale. One of our strengths is building at the intersection of complicated policy requirements and complex data systems, and we’re excited to sink our teeth into a growing problem for large-scale privacy orgs: employee data subject access requests (DSARs).
