“Transatlantic Privacy Update: Regulatory and Litigation Primer for In-House Counsel"

Data privacy and cybersecurity are significant concerns in a world where all companies rely on technology to operate. Data collection and use, as well as safeguarding personal information, creates a wide range of compliance risks and liability concerns. Legislators, regulators, and courts are regularly advancing new laws and compliance obligations to address the privacy and cybersecurity implications of our emergent information economy. The U.S. has seen a rise in litigation targeting Big Tech, including novel suits involving geolocation information, browsing activity, “cookie” tracking, app-usage, and biometric information. And while data privacy laws vary worldwide, the EU and UK are enforcing some of the strictest rules and penalties. If your company operates globally, it is crucial to stay informed about these issues to avoid substantial fines, regulatory actions, and unprecedented litigation.

Tom Gorman, Partner, Keker, Van Nest & Peters

Christina Lee, Associate, Keker, Van Nest & Peters

Felix Hilgert, Partner, Osborne Clarke

Join Norton Rose Fulbright for a presentation entitled “Life After Breach”. Data breach headlines have dominated the news cycle in the last 24 months. Nowadays, regulators are taking a hard look at the breach and seizing the opportunity to do a full-scale review of a company’s cyber, privacy and data practices. As a result, organizations need to be prepared to bring the receipts and explain why and how data was being collected, processed and retained. Regulators will look for an explanation of data collection and deletion practices, Privacy by Design, deidentification, and other privacy and security-friendly choices that could have mitigated the fallout from a breach.
