Greetings from New Hampshire, privacy pros.
As July comes to an end, many of us have worked hard over the past couple of weeks to better understand the full scope of the July 16 decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union in the “Schrems II” case. To help, the IAPP has been publishing th year of existence with the release of the future-looking anthology “
Other great works on privacy that made the rounds this week included a timely study released by NIST on the intersection of privacy, surveillance and COVID-19, as well as a look at how well facial recognition technology works on people wearing face masks. In addition, BankInfoSecurity hosted a conversation on the compliance lessons learned from two years of EU General Data Protection Regulation enforcement. The panel of experts featured former IAPP Westin Fellow IAPP "Privacy Tech Vendor Report" or update your listing, be sure to complete this form by Aug. 21. The next iteration of the report is scheduled to be released in the fall.
Privacy aside, I wanted to leave you with an excerpt from the farewell letter written by the late Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., shortly before his death July 17 and published in The New York Times Thursday, the day of his funeral. He concluded it with these inspiring words:
“When historians pick up their pens to write the story of the 21st century, let them say that it was your generation who laid down the heavy burdens of hate at last and that peace finally triumphed over violence, aggression and war. So I say to you, walk with the wind, brothers and sisters, and let the spirit of peace and the power of everlasting love be your guide.”
I hope everything this weekend goes your way.
