C3PO: Competition and Consumer Convergence toward Privacy Operations

Speakers:

Claude-Étienne Armingaud, CIPP/E, Partner, Data Protection Privacy and Security Practice Group Coordinator, K&L Gates
Shereen Kenyon, Senior Manager Data Privacy and Data Protection Officer, SharkNinja
Elodie Vandenhende, Deputy Head of the Digital Economy Unit, French Competition Authority
Jörn Wittmann, Group Privacy Ambassador, Volkswagen AG

Governments around the globe have turned their attention to the power of accumulated data, and to the use of competition law powers to enact legislative initiatives. From the EU’s Digital Markets Act and proposed Data Act, to the UK’s Data Protection and Digital Information Bill, laws addressing competition, privacy and wider data access issues are becoming increasingly intertwined. Privacy and competition regulators, alongside consumer protection agencies and associations, are working more closely together than ever before. The EU Court of Justice has been asked for clarity on how such regulators should interact going forward. In some countries, we are also seeing a testing of the use of competition mechanisms for bringing group actions on privacy issues. In this session, we will discuss the interactions between privacy, consumer protection and competition, and how these are likely to shape compliance tactics, litigation strategies and regulatory interactions going forward.

What you will learn:

Privacy compliance efforts necessitate a multifaceted strategy.
“Data sharing” between authorities can put companies at risk of multi-front enforcement actions.
Best line of defense remains documentation and communication.
