Data Protection in Times of Turbulence: GDPR, Brexit and the Court of Justice
Less than a year after the entry into force of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the EU is undergoing unprecedented turbulence with Brexit hanging in the balance and highly anticipated fateful judicial decisions of the CJEU about the global data transfer regime. How has GDPR impacted European regulators? How is the cooperation and consistency mechanism working in practice? What do complaints, subject access requests and breach notifications look like in practice? How will the EU address the departure of one of its top three economies? What will the data regime look like between the U.K. and EU and between the U.K. and the rest of the world? In this keynote panel, Europe’s leading data protection regulators, including the Chair of the EDPB, the Data Protection Commissioner of Ireland, and the U.K.’s Information Commissioner, discuss GDPR enforcement a year on, Brexit and the future of cross-border data flows.
