This new alternative will replace the former "Safe Harbor" program, which was invalidated by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) in October 2015 following the landmark decision in Schrems on the grounds that US mass surveillance programs were violating fundamental European privacy rights. While the Privacy Shield is a crucial step forward to a continuing transatlantic data transfer, many EU and U.S companies remain cautious with several uncertainties. Additionally, businesses are intrigued to see how the recent Brexit decision will impact the final approval of the Privacy Shield. Now that the United Kingdom is prepping its exit negotiations, these EU-wide data protection measures may no longer apply to them. In this two-hour LIVE Webcast, a panel of key thought leaders and experienced privacy and data protection practitioners will offer an in-depth discussion of the EU-US Privacy Shield and its several ambiguities. The panel will also answer a number of questions on the potential impact of Brexit and will provide the audience with practical practices in ensuring legal certainty. Key topics include: • EU-US Privacy Shield: An Overview • Maximillian Schrems v. Data Protection Commissioner • Revision to Privacy Policies • US Enforcement Mechanisms • EU Monitoring • Privacy Shield v. Safe Harbor • Brexit: • Consumer Protection and Redress • Recent Trends and Developments About The Knowledge Group/The Knowledge Congress Live Webcast Series The Knowledge Group was established with the mission to produce unbiased, objective, and educational live webinars that examine industry trends and regulatory changes from a variety of different perspectives.
