Data Protection Compliance: Emerging Practices and Trends

In this webinar we will discuss:

• Data protection challenges in an evolving digital environment

• Rapid growth of AI, big data, and automated decision-making – the boundaries between “personal data” and “non-personal data” are becoming blurred

• Complexity of data ecosystems: cloud services, SaaS, and data sharing among multiple controllers and processors

• Increasing expectations of data subjects (transparency, real control, rapid response)

• Omnibus: GDPR 2.0

  
  

Emerging practices in data protection compliance:

• Privacy by design / Privacy by default (and by operation)

• Pseudonymization and anonymization

• Strengthening of proportionality and a risk-based approach

• Trends in supervisory authorities’ and court practices

• Greater focus on breaches with real impact, rather than solely on documentation gaps

• Tightening transparency requirements (especially in complex data chains)

• Growing role of collective actions and consumer organizations

• Other practical issues
