Watch: The EU privacy debate comes to Silicon Valley
Join Passcode and Privacy Lab on聽Wednesday, September 21 at 6:15 p.m. PDT聽for discussion around EU privacy including聽General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Privacy Shield, Brexit, and more.
After months of bureaucratic debate between the EU and US, policymakers have finally reached an agreement on , a聽transatlantic data transfer pact.
"This is an important achievement for the privacy rights of citizens across Europe," said John Frank, vice president of EU government affairs for Microsoft, on the company's blog. "Privacy Shield shows that there is more that unites the US and Europe on data protection than a superficial comparison might suggest. On both sides of the Atlantic, people and policymakers believe in strong privacy protection."
But now that an agreement has been reached, what are next steps for companies on either side of the Atlantic? How does the EU's factor in? And will Brexit present further issues to navigate?
Join Privacy Lab and Passcode for a discussion on privacy policy surrounding the EU.
