As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread around the world and cause unprecedented health and economic challenges, technological measures, once thought extreme, are now being deployed for the purposes of contact tracing, infection tracking, and quarantine compliance. While the search for the right tracking app and software development kits continues, the European Union (EU) is still far from finding a consensus on harmonized model and functionalities. Nevertheless, it is already clear that while app design may be the end result, a complex process of regulatory compliance, risk management and ethics checks, and balances lie ahead.

COVID-19: European Business Continuity While Mitigating Data Protection and Security Challenges From a Distance
March 31st, 2020 | Posted by in Europe | Privacy - (0 Comments)With COVID-19 officially declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, European governments and companies, facing unprecedented challenges, are encouraging their employees to work from home, protect their health and support government measures. Through these difficult times, it remains extremely important for European companies to take swift action, follow up on their projects on a daily basis and to ensure that data security and privacy protection measures are in place and are strictly monitored by professionals at all times. Privacy and data protection violations during COVID-19 times cannot be justified and may be investigated by the data protection authorities, whether it be during or after the crisis.

February 4th, 2020 | Posted by in Conference | Data Transfer | Europe | France | internet | Legislation | Privacy | World - (0 Comments)The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) stands to radically change the way organisations throughout the United States, and even the world, handle personal data. Coming into force on 1 January 2020, CCPA has motivated other U.S. states such as Washington and Texas to move toward having their own privacy laws. Increasingly, pressure is building in Washington, DC, to advance federal privacy legislation, both on the domestic and international scene. In addition to Japan obtaining a GDPR-adequacy recognition (followed soon by Korea and India), Brazil has adopted its General Data Protection Act (GDPA) which is heavily inspired by the EU GDPR and will come into force in August 2020. In this session, hear about the new laws and legislative initiatives, how they will change the way you do business internationally and how to get prepared.

October 8th, 2019 | Posted by in Communication | Europe | France | Press | Privacy - (0 Comments)Brexit: Deal Or No-Deal? Data is the Question
With the Brexit deadline looming ahead on 31 October 2019, the situation seemingly reaches new levels of uncertainty every day. Last week, the U.K. Supreme Court’s eleven judges unanimously ruled that Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s decision on 9 September 2019, to prorogue Parliament was “unlawful and void.” Parliament will therefore carry on its Brexit discussions…with now only thirty days left to finalise a deal. Although Parliament, while still in session, passed a law to extend the Brexit deadline, such an extension would still require approval by the EU.
So how should companies prepare, on either side of the Channel (and beyond), in the coming months for the more-likely-by-the-day-scenario of No-Deal?
(more…)Regulating Connected and Autonomous Vehicles – A Blueprint for an AI Legal Framework
October 4th, 2019 | Posted by in Communication | Connected Cars | Ethics | Europe | France | IT | Legislation | Privacy - (0 Comments)
A French Revolution, at last?
Despite optimistic statements in 2016 on both sides of the Atlantic (in between the European Commission’s communication on connected cars for Europe, and the Obama administration’s Detroit Auto Show announcement), it would seem that some of the hype surrounding connected and autonomous vehicles (“CAVs”) faltered. One reason may be the desensitization of the general public, as the initially promised 2020 deployment is dawning without a hint of general commercial availability in sight. On the other hand, the intricacies of the regulatory frameworks at stake also hinder the development of consumer-ready offers.
More often than not, France is perceived as an administrative maze, yet may become (unexpectedly to some) a leader in the race to regulating this incoming industry. However, far more than being limited to the automotive industry, regulating CAVs will serve as the blueprint for an artificial intelligence (“AI”) legal framework.
