We've just published a new blog post, written by our very own Sofie Geurts, that explores this topic in depth: https://lnkd.in/e_FsSBYu This isn't just theory – it's something we've been applying for a while now, especially in the healthcare sector, where this knowledge isn't as widespread as it should be. Understanding the relevant court ruling is important, and less difficult than most believe it to be. The ruling showed that to determine if data is truly anonymous, you must consider the recipient's perspective – can they de-anonymise the data? This piece is valuable for anyone that handles data within their organisation. #GDPR #DataPrivacy

In today's digital age, the smooth flow of data across borders is crucial for economic growth and innovation. However, the safeguarding of personal privacy in these transfers is paramount, especially under stringent regulations like the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). 🇺🇸🇪🇺 Last year, an executive order by the U.S. established the Data Protection Review Court with a pivotal aim: to ensure the compliance of U.S.-EU data transfers with European privacy rules. This court allows EU residents to challenge potential misuses of their data, aligning with GDPR’s requirements. Despite its strategic importance, the court is yet to see active engagement from the EU side. In a recent meeting on April 2nd, the Biden administration urged European data protection officials to bolster the court's utilization by promoting it as a viable avenue for addressing grievances. 💡 Why does this matter? Utilizing this court not only strengthens transatlantic relations but also serves as a critical measure against legal challenges that threaten significant economic ties, potentially impacting up to $1 trillion in trade and investments. As professionals in data-driven sectors, it is our role to stay informed and engaged with such developments, ensuring that our practices not only foster innovation but also respect and protect individual privacy rights. Let's discuss: How can entities on both sides of the Atlantic better promote and utilize this court to enhance data privacy and economic cooperation? #DataPrivacy #TransatlanticTrade #GDPR #DigitalEconomy #USPolicy #EULaw #PrivacyProtection

International data transfers: Complex, Consequential, and Controversial. It was a great privilege to give evidence and to engage with the thoughtful and incisive questions from members of the UK House of Lords European Affairs Committee. Whereas in years past, issues relating to international data transfers might have been readily dismissed as esoteric and ephemeral paper tigers, those issues -- which have evolved and compounded -- are not only of highest priority for #PrivacyPros doing the work, they are foundational to the efficacy and sustainability of information-driven societies, technologies, and economies. 👀 You can watch the evidence session -- which I had the pleasure of joining alongside Eleonor Duhs -- here: https://lnkd.in/ePQemtW4. 🧠 Check out the IAPP - International Association of Privacy Professionals International Data Transfers page for empowering resources: https://lnkd.in/dkwkeqUs #DataTransfers #DataFlows #GDPR #DataProtection
