Hello and welcome to another episode of GDPR now, our podcast dedicated to all things related to data privacy and data security with all sorts of technology in between.

Your host today is me, Karen Heaton, owner of Data Protection for Business, recording from my home office in southwest London.

So in this episode, we're going to talk a little bit more about self-sovereign identity, that's SSI, and following on from a previous podcast we did a couple of months ago.

We're going to talk about more of the uses of this solution topic

and how more and more organisations are starting to take notice of

self-sovereign identity. So today I'm delighted to introduce my two guests. I have Calic Maliki

and Jimmy Snook, who are both currently residing in Netherlands, joining me remotely today, and they're co-founders of the award-winning digital ID company called Tykin.

So we have Kali and Maliki.

He is the, as I said, the co-founder.

Kaleek has had many years working in technology as a user designer,

the Dutch Ministry of Interior.

And he has founded Tykin because he's a big

belief in self-sovereign identity and the impact that it can make on billions of people's lives

around the world. He has talked to organizations at the Economic Forum in Africa and to the United

Nations in New York. So welcome, Kalleed.

Thank you. Thanks for having us.

Welcome. I also have Jimmy Snoke. He's a CEO and co-founder as well. Jimmy was a musician

and has now business developer and entrepreneur, as I said, residing in the Netherlands.

And he has now become one of our key evangelists of data privacy

and an early adopter of crypto. And Jimmy also has spoken about the merits of blockchain

and self-sovereign identity at conferences and institutions worldwide since 2017. And he's even

appeared in The Guardian in one of our UK papers. So welcome to you, Jimmy.
