Conference Themes

Politics & Law

  • EU Data Protection draft Regulation: State of play at the end of June and the Irish Presidency
  • Bridging different political cultures: Law or Interoperability?
  • Consistency vs. flexibility: Where will be the room for manoeuvre for data controllers and EU States after adoption of the EU Data Protection Regulation?
  • Assessing the risks of data protection enforcement action: Navigating grey areas or take the regulators to the edge?
  • Data privacy cases decided by the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Court of Human Rights

 

Corporate Strategy & Risk Assessment

  • Reconciling everyday Data Protection Officer objectives and responsibilities with broader corporate strategies
  • Risks to personal data as part of broader information security threats
  • Privacy pros and cons of processing in-house vs. using outsourcing and cloud services

Marketing

  • Online behavioural advertising vs. regulators’ cookie requirements

  • Tracking via mobile apps and geolocation: Reconciling users’ convenience, app developers’ hunger for data, advertisers’ advantages and legal requirements
  • Personal data as traded assets vs. data protection rights
