Working with privacy and data protection has been life-changing, all thanks to Andreea. She was my inspiration to dive into this field. Andreea has an incredible ability to translate the hardest and most abstract concepts into real-life application. Unlike other courses, I can always immediately apply the knowledge I gain.

How The Privacy Manager Club Works
Frequently Asked Questions
The course inside The Privacy Manager Club is designed to provide you with comprehensive, real-world knowledge about privacy management that you can immediately apply in your organization. Unlike exam-focused training, which often revolves around memorizing specific information to pass a test, this program emphasizes a deeper understanding of privacy management and how to implement it effectively in practice.
A quick comparison between the course outline and the CIPM body of knowledge shows that all relevant topics should be covered during the course. However, this course is not tailored for the CIPM exam. You will gain knowledge in areas such as privacy program governance, operational privacy, and risk management, and the primary goal is to equip you with practical, actionable skills, not just to prepare you for an exam which may prioritize theoretical knowledge and test-taking strategies.
That said, through group coaching calls and individual 1:1 sessions, you can receive tailored support if you're preparing for the CIPM exam. This allows you to focus on areas you might need extra guidance in, while still ensuring that your learning is grounded in practical application. Keep in mind that no course guarantees a passing score.
Yes, participants will receive a certificate upon completing the course - progress is measured automatically in the course platform. There are no certificates for the group or individual coaching.
Many organizations allow training expenses to be reimbursed, but it's best to check with your company’s policies.
When you purchase The Privacy Manager Club you will receive an invoice that complies with EU VAT rules. Depending on your employer’s practices, you can directly use your employer’s information so that the cost is tax deductible for them, or use your own details and then apply for reimbursement from your employer.
If you are a business owner you will be able to use this invoice directly into your accounting.
Yes, discounts are available for students and job seekers. Please send me an email at hello@privacycraft.pro for more details on how to apply.
Yes, the course is eligible for CPE credits. Check with your certification body for specific requirements.
Access to the course will start on 14 October, and the weekly group coaching calls will follow shortly thereafter. However, the community is open from the moment you enroll, so feel free to dive in, introduce yourself, and start connecting with fellow privacy professionals right away!
The online course inside The Privacy Manager Club consists of a series of pre-recorded video lectures that you can go through at your own pace, allowing you to learn when it fits your schedule. Most lectures come with additional resources and detailed information to help you dive deeper into the topics. You’ll also have access to downloadable slides to support your learning and reference key points as you progress through the material.
Group coaching sessions are held weekly on Thursdays at 4 PM CET. Click here to convert this to your local time. During these sessions, we discuss key privacy management topics, share experiences, and solve challenges together. If you're in a timezone that makes it difficult to attend, don't worry - I will create an additional session to accommodate participants in regions further away, ensuring that everyone can benefit from the group coaching experience.
This program requires a basic understanding of privacy legal obligations, though not necessarily under GDPR. In terms of privacy program management skills, it is suitable from beginners to experienced professionals looking to enhance their practical skills.
While familiarity with GDPR or other privacy regulations is helpful, the course focuses more on the practical aspects of implementing privacy programs across multiple jurisdictions. You’ll learn how to manage privacy programs globally without needing to be an expert in every law yourself.
This course is designed for participants who already have a basic understanding of privacy legal obligations, such as those under GDPR or other privacy frameworks. While legal obligations will be mentioned and referenced throughout the course, the focus is on how to translate these requirements into effective privacy program management. You will learn how to implement and operationalize privacy obligations rather than studying the legal texts in detail.
For those who are new to privacy laws, it's important to have foundational knowledge beforehand, as this course is geared towards practical application rather than a deep dive into legal specifics. This connects with the earlier question on skill level, where a basic understanding of privacy law is needed, but the course caters to all levels in terms of program management expertise.
While it’s possible to learn privacy management principles on your own, this program allows you to leverage over 12 years of my hands-on knowledge and experience in the field, saving you time by offering practical, actionable insights. Instead of piecing together information from various sources, you’ll follow a clear, guided path designed to help you master privacy program management in real-world scenarios.
Additionally, in the coaching components will provide personalized guidance tailored to your unique challenges and goals -something self-study can’t offer. There you also have access to a community of peers, where you can exchange ideas, share experiences, and troubleshoot problems together, which greatly enhances your learning experience.
While self-learning can provide theoretical knowledge, this course focuses on developing the hands-on skills and practical strategies needed to implement privacy programs effectively in your organization. With optional coaching and ongoing support, you won’t be left to navigate the complexities of privacy management on your own.
The Privacy Manager Club stands out because it goes beyond theory and legal frameworks, focusing on the real-world, practical skills you need to effectively manage privacy programs. Instead of merely teaching the legal texts or compliance checklists, this program equips you with strategies to actually implement, maintain, and scale privacy programs in dynamic, global environments.
Drawing from over 12 years of experience, I share insights and best practices that I’ve personally applied in diverse industries. You’ll learn how to manage privacy across various business contexts, translating legal requirements into actionable steps that drive real compliance, not just paper compliance.
The added options for coaching and community also provide tailored support to address your specific challenges, setting this course apart from standard programs.
This course equips you with tools and strategies specifically designed for managing privacy programs across multiple jurisdictions, where laws and regulations often conflict or overlap. Rather than focusing on individual country-specific laws, the course inside The Privacy Manager Club emphasizes a global approach, teaching you how to develop consistent privacy practices that comply with various regulations. You’ll learn how to adapt your privacy program to meet different legal requirements, while maintaining efficiency and consistency across borders. With guidance on practical execution, the course ensures that you’re not just aware of the laws, but that you know how to apply them globally - creating privacy programs that are flexible, scalable, and sustainable in a fast-changing regulatory landscape.
While the core content is applicable to a broad range of industries, this program offers flexible options for personalization through the group and 1:1 coaching sessions. These sessions allow us to address the specific challenges you face in your industry or company. Whether you're working in tech, healthcare, retail, or another sector, you’ll receive guidance that directly applies to your unique context.
It’s important to factor in any confidentiality obligations when discussing company-specific matters. If you need to maintain confidentiality around sensitive issues, consider opting for 1:1 coaching sessions, which offer a private space to dive deeper into your organization's unique needs. This ensures that you can receive personalized advice while keeping proprietary or sensitive information secure. Even if you don't purchase the Premium membership, as a member of The Privacy Manager Club you can purchase one-off individual sessions, outside of my usual subscriptions.
While The Privacy Manager Club isn’t specifically designed for any one legal environment, the principles of privacy program management taught in the course are applicable to organizations operating both within the EU and internationally. The program focuses on the core skills and strategies needed to adapt and scale privacy programs across different regulatory frameworks, making it highly relevant to professionals in any legal setting. I have successfully trained privacy professionals from both EU and international organizations, equipping them with the tools to manage compliance effectively, regardless of jurisdiction. You’ll learn how to implement privacy management practices that can be tailored to various legal requirements, ensuring you’re prepared for the challenges of global privacy management.

I am a privacy lawyer based in Sweden, working with EU data protection matters and their effects globally. I am also a lecturer and mentor in data protection law and privacy program management, both at Maastricht University’s European Center for Privacy and Cybersecurity as well as at PrivacyCraft, the boutique I founded in 2024 and where I lead training and mentorship programs for privacy professionals. I also publish The Privacy & AI Explorer, a weekly newsletter covering news and insights into developments in the field of privacy, cybersecurity and AI.
I have worked as an outside counsel for most of my career, having advised on data protection matters since the very early stages of cloud computing emergence. I switched to leading in-house roles in 2019 - working for Volvo Cars and then Boeing, seeing the data protection compliance world both as a controller and as a processor in some very challenging global projects. In 2024 I moved back into consulting but with a focus on sharing my knowledge about the real-life challenges of privacy program management in a global context that doesn’t end where GDPR stops to apply.
Originally from Romania, I got my law degree from the University of Bucharest with a stint at Erasmus University in the Netherlands. I have been designated as a Fellow of Information Privacy by the IAPP, and hold certifications as privacy professional and privacy program manager from IAPP, as well as data protection officer from Maastricht University's ECPC.
