Brittany Kaiser is a data rights advocate, entrepreneur, and whistleblower who gained international attention after exposing the inner workings of Cambridge Analytica. Born in Houston, Texas, and raised in Chicago, she developed an early interest in politics and human rights. Her academic journey took her through prestigious institutions, earning degrees in international relations and law from the University of Edinburgh, Birkbeck College, and Middlesex University. During her studies, she engaged in various human rights initiatives, including work with Amnesty International and lobbying efforts at the United Nations and European Parliament. Kaiser's professional career took a pivotal turn when she joined SCL Group, the parent company of Cambridge Analytica, in 2014. As Director of Business Development, she was involved in projects that utilized data analytics for political campaigns, including the 2016 U.S. presidential election and the Brexit referendum. Her experience at Cambridge Analytica led her to question the ethical implications of data misuse in politics. In 2018, she came forward with evidence detailing the company's data practices, testifying before the UK Parliament and contributing to investigations into data privacy violations. Following her whistleblowing, Kaiser co-founded the Own Your Data Foundation, focusing on digital literacy and advocating for individuals' control over their personal data. She also co-founded the Digital Asset Trade Association (DATA), working to advance legislation that protects digital rights. Her efforts have contributed to the passage of over 30 laws related to privacy, blockchain technology, and digital asset ownership. Kaiser serves on multiple boards, including Gryphon Digital Mining, emphasizing ESG-focused and carbon-neutral practices in the crypto industry. Kaiser is the author of "Targeted," a memoir detailing her experiences with Cambridge Analytica and the broader implications of data exploitation. She is also featured in the Netflix documentary "The Great Hack," which explores the impact of data on democracy. As a public speaker, she has addressed audiences at the United Nations, European and British Parliaments, the G20, and various academic institutions, sharing insights on data ethics, privacy, and the importance of digital rights in the modern era.
