Arye Schreiber, an Anglo-Israeli privacy lawyer and the founder of Armadillex, discusses the challenges faced by data privacy professionals and how his platform aims to address them.

Armadillex is an AI-powered platform that helps organizations manage their data privacy relationships and provides business insights based on data processing agreements (DPAs).

The platform allows users to upload DPAs and automatically generates a breakdown of the relationships, notifications, and customizable templates. It also offers features like one-click records of processing activities (ROPA) and future plans to benchmark best practices.

Arye is also working on a guidance on privacy by design and continues to research new ideas in the field of privacy.

Arye is also a tremendous Torah scholar and wrote a phenomenal book on data privacy insights taken from the weekly bible portion, exemplifying just how ancient the concept of data privacy actually is. He cleverly coined the book 'חכמה בינה ודאטה' (hard to translate but hopefully there is an English version forthcoming).
