The two EU rulings in the so-called Schrems cases have significantly influenced GDPR compliance efforts for both companies and authorities in recent years. Over time, it has become increasingly challenging to use cloud solutions that require personal data to be transferred to or accessed from third countries. Additionally, practical concerns have emerged regarding cloud providers' use of data for their own purposes and their management of sub-processors. With the rapid advancement and widespread adoption of AI technology, the demand for sophisticated cloud solutions will only continue to grow in the coming years.
However, the field is evolving, and new legal solution spaces are emerging that Danish companies and authorities can leverage to use services from the largest providers while maintaining compliance with applicable data protection laws.
Based on Christian Wiese Svanberg's unique insight into the latest trends and practices, we review how and why GDPR evolved from being a "technology-neutral" and "future-proof" piece of legislation to become one of the biggest legal challenges for Danish companies and authorities using cloud.
In this webinar series, we will explore the legal and practical challenges that have impacted this area for years. However, the focus is also on practical approaches to GDPR compliance in the cloud and identifying solutions that enable businesses to fully leverage modern, cloud-based IT services and infrastructure -including AI.
We also discuss in detail how the CJEU has solved some of the biggest challenges and provide perspectives on how the field is likely to develop in the coming years.
The webinar series is relevant for lawyers and others working with data protection law, especially data protection officers (DPOs), compliance officers and in-house lawyers negotiating IT contracts etc. Places are reserved for current and potential clients.
The webinar series can be approved as mandatory continuing education for lawyers.
