The EU laws on data sharing and data transfer were drafted in an era when data moved slowly and in small quantities. The current “everywhere to everywhere” movement of data means that it is increasingly difficult for international businesses to run their affairs whilst complying with EU laws on data transfers. Corporate governance, outsourcing, cloud computing and social media all raise massive data protection and data transfer concerns, and the increase in regulatory investigations and fines mean that multinationals must comply with EU data transfer laws or risk investigations and fines.

This 60-minute presentation will help you understand the EU data transfer regime and the significant differences within the EU member states in relation to the way in which data transfers are permitted from the EU to other countries.

• Data transfer registration procedures.
• Exemptions from registration.
• Safe Harbor.
• EU Model Contracts for controller to controller.
• Omnibus data transfer agreements.
• Binding Corporate Rules.
• EU Model contracts for controller to processor.

This webinar will provide valuable assistance to all businesses that transfer and share personal data from and within the EU. Those that would benefit most would be:

• Compliance officers
• HR Managers
• Legal counsel
• Risk managers
• Marketing & Advertising Executives
