Lost in Privacy? How to tackle transatlantic data protection challenges

New York
02 - 03 February 2017
Data Protection has been a buzzword in the EU for some time. However, for many non-EU companies, EU data protection law has mostly been ‘background noise’ with little practical relevance or consequence. In 2018, however, the buzz will turn to a ‘sting’ when the new EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) comes into force. Not only will the GDPR provide a unified legal framework, replacing the current patchwork of rules in the EU, it will also introduce fines that actually hurt.
As a result, companies from all over the world – among other things – should review their compliance policies and business practices relating to the use and transfer of personal data, as well as perform a new risk assessment regarding the potential resulting liability. For US companies in particular, this situation could prove to be a challenge. Confronted with the previous invalidation of the EU-US Safe Harbor Agreement, and coupled with the Privacy Shield – which still needs to prove itself – US companies face testing times in terms of data protection and personal data transfers.
This one-day seminar will provide an overview of these new rules facing businesses and will offer best practices and possible solutions.
Topics will include:
- Impact of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
- Transatlantic data transfers after the CJEU’s Schrems ruling:
- Interplay between cybersecurity laws
This one-day seminar will provide lawyers and in-house counsel from Europe, the USA and elsewhere in the world with an overview of these new rules that businesses will soon face and will offer best practices and possible solutions. This AIJA seminar is the product of collaboration with the Center on Law and Information Policy at Fordham Law School (“Fordham CLIP”). Fordham CLIP was founded by Fordham Law School in 2005 in response to the regulatory challenges underlying the field of information technology given that the law and policy often trail technological advances. Fordham CLIP is now that ‘cutting edge’ of scholarship and legal education in the emerging field of information law. Fordham CLIP supports and conducts research, organizes workshops and conferences, and hosts and facilitates high-level public discourse on topics such as: data privacy and security, peer-to-peer technologies, intellectual property protection of information assets, and the liability of Internet intermediaries. As well as being one of the biggest markets, New York is home to many of the leading companies and has one of the biggest legal communities in the world. It is also quickly becoming the new place to be for tech companies, competing with Silicon Valley, and with its location represents a natural crossroad for business between Europe and the USA. Local attendees will have access to knowledge of experts coming from 11 jurisdictions and the opportunity to take advantage of several networking opportunities to create a truly global network of privacy/data protection experts.
New York is waiting for you!
