Latham & Watkins is pleased to invite you to join us as we explore data privacy challenges in Asia due to the emergence of contact tracing technologies during the COVID-19 pandemic.

As the fight against COVID-19 continues, data plays an increasingly important role in containing the spread of the virus. This has prompted the urgent development and roll out of contact tracing technologies. The collection and sharing of vast amounts of personal data through these technologies has raised legal implications with regard to intrusion of privacy.

In this webcast, our lawyers will discuss the regulatory and compliance considerations resulting from contact tracing technologies amidst COVID-19.

Topics

·       Overview of contact tracing technologies in Asia

·       Legal obligations for retaining data

·       How to securely delete data without contravening contact tracing requirements
