The Privacy Advisor Podcast: The latest on Brexit and the ePrivacy Regulation

Those of us following the saga that is Brexit remain anxious over how U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May will resolve the problem. Three votes in, and there's still no deal as to how the U.K. will exit the EU — or if it will at all — in the end. For privacy professionals, it's an important issue, because if the U.K. does leave and a "hard Brexit" is agreed upon, the U.K. will no longer enjoy the free flow of data with the EU and others. As companies grapple with what to do to prepare for a case in which alternative arrangements for data transfers must be made for lawful compliance, Hogan Lovells' Eduardo Ustaran, CIPP/E, has some insights that might help. In this episode of the podcast, Ustaran discusses the latest developments and what his clients are doing in the interim. He also talks through the latest developments on the ePrivacy Regulation, which has long been in the negotiation process but now seems to be inching closer to a final agreement.
