The @EU_Commission summarized in their new study (https://op.europa.eu/en/publication-detail/-/publication/8b950a43-a141-11ed-b508-01aa75ed71a1/language-en) what we have been saying for long: That the advertising industry is a mean business, which violates current #DataProtectionLaw and harms everyone except for #advertising vendors. Now the commission has to follow through on their findings and ensure proper enforcement! #DataProtection #Tracking

December has flown by with lots of fun festive extra activities on the mind, presents to buy and events to go to. 🎄
 
This means it's been easy to lose track of important developments in data protection - an area of law which continues to be busy all year round! 🧐
 
So whilst lots of us are winding down for a nice long holiday weekend, here are five significant events in December from a GDPR and UK GDPR perspective in case you missed them:
 
1️⃣ The EU Commission has proposed a draft EU - US Data Privacy Framework (the new 'privacy shield' ). However, whilst the draft is significant, the decision has not been finalized. The process which expected to take another 6 months.

2️⃣ The UK Information Commissioner published various important pieces including its Direct Marketing Guidance which has long been anticipated by the industry. The ICO also released a forward thinking piece called 'Tech Horizons' which examines the implications of some of the most significant technological developments for privacy in the next two to five years.

3️⃣ The EU has signed a declaration on EU digital rights and principles that highlights "the EU's commitment to a secure, safe and sustainable digital transformation." The declaration is wider than just protecting personal data including #ESG themes around sustainability and digital inclusion.

4️⃣ Microsoft plans to roll out a 'data boundary' for its EU customers from 1 January to help their customers comply with their commitments under the GDPR.

5️⃣ New draft texts has been released for significant EU legislation in the data space, including the upcoming #AI Act, and the EU Data Act.
 
And of course, there were many more developments. Would anything else make your top 5?

This (linked below) is a great short Q&A the EU Commission on what's happening next with new proposed EU-US Privacy Shield. 💡

Some key highlights include:

💭 A reminder of where we are now. The US has signed an Executive Order on 7 October to implement the agreement in principle announced in March.

📝 Next steps are with the EU Commission. In particular the European Data Protection Board will need to give an opinion, a committee of representatives will need to approve it and the EU Parlaiment will need to decide whether to scrutinise the decision.

🧐 What are the options for companies now? In summary, don't rely on the proposed Privacy Shield yet and keep using those other transfer mechanisms (SCCs etc.).

Good day today, first day of a five day DPO (data protection officer) course at Maastricht University. Interesting teachers and an extremely international group of students. Intense, but interesting.

Most people don't realise that this e-nomination is family credit score / NAV database building in stealth and will be used for personal insolvency.

Instead they think govt is benevolent and giving an online facility, give data before #DataProtectionLaw

Please don't be sheeps
