No ratings

Presented at IAPPEuDPC 2014 by

In this interactive discussion, we will address the impact of the EU data protection regulation and data localisation initiatives on how companies transfer personal data globally. Due to the current legislative and political climate around cross-border data transfers, uncertainty around the future of existing data transfer mechanisms such as Safe Harbor, new draft EU processor-to-processor model contracts, promotion of binding corporate rules for both data controllers and data processors, and threat of data localisation requirements, companies must re-assess their data transfer strategies. Here, we’ll explore the challenges and opportunities faced by companies in that context and provide practical recommendations on how to tackle these challenges. What you’ll take away: · An overview of the current and future data transfers mechanisms, including pros and cons for each key mechanism · The practical impact of the draft EU data protection regulation and various data localisation initiatives on global data transfer strategies · Practical recommendations for companies facing similar issues
