Session Description:
Since the GDPR has been published into law in 2016 (and in force in 2018), it is arguably one of the most consequential information policies of a generation. It took shape from its predecessor, the 1995 Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC, which introduced personal data into a complex regulatory regime. Many new concepts in privacy policies were introduced, such as the right to erasure, cross-border data transfer, etc. So it is important for, not only privacy lawyers and Data Protection Authorities, data subjects and data controllers to understand it properly.
The speaker will give background on the GDPR itself as a legislation and high level details on its most important provisions. The presentation will be finished off with some implications of the major cases of the CJEU (Court of Justice of the European Union) and touch on the latest development relating to data protection in the EU.
