About Blue Ridge Privacy
Practical guidance for a complex digital world.
Today’s privacy landscape can be confusing. Regulations shift, technologies evolve, and organizations are expected to meet rising expectations with limited time and resources. Many small and mid-sized teams are juggling privacy responsibilities alongside everything else—and often without a dedicated privacy function.
Your guide through the privacy landscape
Blue Ridge Privacy was created to change that.
I help organizations understand their privacy obligations and build programs that are realistic, scalable, and aligned with how your team actually works. My approach is rooted in clarity and simplicity: cutting through complexity, explaining privacy in plain language, and creating solutions you can confidently put into practice.
Making Privacy Understandable
Whether you need a privacy program assessment, help responding to new regulations, support managing vendors, or guidance on responsible AI use, Blue Ridge Privacy provides the expertise and partnership to help you move forward. My philosophy is simple:
Privacy should empower your organization—not overwhelm it.
When done well, privacy builds trust, reduces risk, and becomes a strategic advantage.
Who am I?
I’m Dan Jenewein, the founder of Blue Ridge Privacy. I serve as the lead privacy attorney at a global nonprofit where I advise on privacy, security, and AI governance across international operations. I’m passionate about making privacy accessible, understandable, and genuinely useful, especially for teams who don’t have the luxury of large legal or compliance departments. My work blends legal expertise with practical, real-world implementation. I love teaching, simplifying complex topics, and helping organizations build privacy foundations that grow with them.
