ACC NCR PRIVACY: What Comes after Privacy Shield: Negotiating Cross-Border Data Transfers with Your Vendors and Service Providers

What began over two years ago mainly as a “battle of the forms” to update terms of Data Protection Agreements for GDPR has now exploded into a complex discussion of how to address European personal data transfers in light of the Schrems II decision. With Privacy Shield now being invalidated and the EU Standard Contractual Clauses being called into question, companies now have an uncertain path forward for transferring personal data from Europe to the United States. We will explore potential strategies, what happens with Privacy Shield, and whether amendment of current mechanisms are needed in order to limit GDPR risk. In light of the uncertainty, we will discuss how such cross-border transfers can be approached.

Presented by Courtney Barton Vice President & Senior Counsel, Privacy & Data Security, Global Compliance at Marriott International, Cobun Zweifel-Keegan, Deputy Director, Privacy Initiatives at BBB National Programs, and Tyler Thompson, ACC Colorado Chapter liaison and Colorado attorney.

Moderated by Randy V. Sabett, Special Counsel with Cooley LLP.
