At the end of July, the European Court of Justice struck down the US Privacy Shield, and although it focused on EU-US data transfers, the ruling is already causing widespread aftershocks for international personal data transfers within the EEA. International group companies using personal data, or even non-international organisations which are using Cloud or other service providers in non-EEA countries (such as India or elsewhere), need to be aware of the implications arising from the ruling.
For life sciences businesses, the kinds of data that may be affected could be data about individual patients and their treatment, clinical trial data and information about staff, research colleagues and physicians. Organisations have become so used to working digitally that they may not even fully appreciate when international data transfers are taking place.
Jagvinder Singh Kang, International and UK Head of IT at Mills & Reeve considers what steps you can take to protect your organisation following the ruling.
This webinar will be relevant to all organisations involved in international personal data transfers from within the EEA, whether to group companies, service providers or other organisations.
There will also be an opportunity to ask the presenters questions, when Jagvinder will be joined by for a Q&A session byspecialist Life Sciences Lawyer Stephanie Caird.
DURATION: 1 hour
Please note that due to privacy restrictions this webinar will NOT be recorded and the presentation slide will not be available to download.
