Summary
Hear a panel of privacy experts discuss the Privacy Shield, a new framework for personal data transfers from the European Union to the United States. The subject of intense negotiations between the EU and US in the aftermath of the Snowden disclosures, the Privacy Shield is intended to offer legal certainty and a streamlined method for cross-border transfers between the EU and the US. But what are the practical considerations for companies?
The webinar will focus on:
