Summary
Nga Bellis-phan is a legal officer at the French Data Protection Authority (CNIL) specializing in privacy compliance, Binding Corporate Rules and codes of conduct for multinational groups and professional federations. A former legal historian and digital humanist, she pivoted to tech law in 2022 and combines deep academic research—ongoing PhD in Legal History and years teaching at Sorbonne, Assas and Nanterre—with hands-on regulatory practice. She contributes to EU-level policymaking as a member of EDPB expert subgroups on international transfers and compliance, and has audited cross-border governance frameworks for large-scale organisations. Her background includes a Yale LL.M., a residency at Yale’s Information Society Project focused on misinformation in the Global South, and editorial leadership at major law journals. Fluent in bridging archival-tech projects (mass OCR, NLP, linked data) and contemporary tech regulation, she brings a rare mix of historical perspective and operational regulatory expertise. Based in Paris and admitted to the New York Bar, she advises at the intersection of consumer rights, platform services and international data flows.
