Noncompete, Nondisclosure or Misdemeanor?
The New Penalty Under C.R.S. 8-2-113 and Emerging Data Privacy Challenges

Program Overview:

4-4:30 PM - Registration/Networking
4:30-5:30 PM - CLE
5:30-6:30 PM - Reception

This presentation will explore the implications of the recent change to C.R.S. § 8-2-113, which makes violation of the statute restricting non-competition agreements a class 2 misdemeanor.  We will provide practical tips and takeaways and review the current state of Colorado case law as well as dos and don'ts in crafting acceptable non-competes under the statutory requirements.

At the same time, certain restrictive covenants are becoming less and less optional. 

New data privacy laws require that employees exposed to confidential customer data sign nondisclosure agreements.  These agreements, however, may also implicate C.R.S. § 8-3-113.  Business handling protected customer data will have to navigate their obligations under C.R.S. § 8-2-113 while also enforcing acceptable nondisclosure agreements under emerging data privacy laws, including the Colorado Privacy Act.

Speakers:

William Groh, Senior Associate, Robinson & Henry, P.C.

Jenifer McIntosh, Prodigy, In-House Counsel Attorney

From phishing attacks to ransomware, organizations of all sizes have been targets of cyberattacks. Some of the largest breaches on record, in fact, spawned from a smaller company (tied to the true ‘target’ through commercial operations) being attacked as a jumping off point for the larger target. Following a security incident, legal liability often follows – ranging from the loss of customer or employee personal information to the breach of contracts that call for certain security measures to be in place.

Join this interactive session, led by an ACC member and a security expert, as we explore the common means of attack, methods used to investigate and remediate such attacks, and preventative measures that should be considered. And feel free to have your organization’s CIO, CISO, or technical staff join in the session.

This event will be held in person at The Frick Building, Tenant Innovation Center, 437 Grant Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15219 and also via webinar.

Data subjects have the right to access and receive a copy of their personal data (and to object to and restrict processing, data rectification, deletion, and portability). How do you build a process to respond to a DSAR and create an information management system to locate and retrieve information?

In this final webinar of the series, we will walk through a DSAR scenario based on the panelists’ experience in the U.K/EEA and how it can be applied in the MENA region.

What you will learn:

• Project managing complex/large scale DSARs: roles of the law firm, consulting firm and PR firm

• Stress testing the DSAR scenario

• The complexity of DSAR operations and how to manage DSAR’s efficiently and effectively

• Relationship management with regulators.

 

This event is a collaboration between IAPP (Dubai chapter) and ACC Middle East and North Africa.

 

Breaches, which can be both malicious and accidental, are inevitable. How should an organisation prepare and respond to a personal data breach?

Data protection laws contain an obligation to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures and include breach notification requirements if the breach could result in risk to the individuals.

Case study scenario: Ransomware has resulted in a substantial breach at a data-driven organisation regionally headquartered in the UAE. Discuss next steps.

What you will learn:

• The dos and don’ts

• Lessons learned from other jurisdictions like the UK/EU/US

• Cyber insurance quantification

• Data breach scenarios, responses, and stakeholders

• Communications and PR

 

This event is a collaboration between IAPP (Dubai chapter) and ACC Middle East and North Africa.

 

Data privacy automation is developing quickly to help organisations to automate the handling of data – at a time when the sheer volume of data and the regulatory compliance obligations is exploding.

What’s out there and how do you go about selecting what you really need to manage risk?

What you will learn:

• Why has privacy technology become so critical?

• When should you deploy privacy technology?

• What to consider when shaping your privacy technology budget?

• How privacy technology accelerates implementation?

 

This event is a collaboration between IAPP (Dubai chapter) and ACC Middle East and North Africa.

 

How do you go about leveraging a DPIA as a flexible and scalable tool to help you to systematically and proportionately identify and minimise the data protection risks of a project as part of your organisation’s accountability obligations?

The DPIA has its origin in the “Privacy by Design’ principle, and was coined and championed by Ann Cavoukian, the former Privacy Commissioner for the Canadian Province of Ontario, who was born in Cairo.

The DPIA has become a core component of global data privacy legislative requirements, including in the MENA region.

What will you learn:

• When and why a DPIA is required

• How to perform DPIA

• What does a good quality DPIA look like?

 

The webinar will be a panel discussion between the following speakers:

Jay Kesaria, Managing Associate at Addleshaw Goddard (Moderator)

Manish Mishra, DPO at Masreq Bank

Jessica Bujaroski, Associate Director, Global Data Privacy, at Breakwater Solutions.

This event is a collaboration between IAPP (Dubai chapter) and ACC Middle East and North Africa.
