The two EU rulings in the so-called Schrems cases have played a major role in the GDPR compliance work of both companies and authorities in recent years. And the experience is that - especially over time - it has become increasingly difficult to use cloud solutions that require personal data to be transferred to, or accessed from, third countries. At the same time, questions have been raised in practice about cloud providers' use of data for their own purposes and the handling of sub-processors. With the rapid development and adoption of AI technology, the need for advanced cloud solutions will only increase in the coming years.
However, the field is changing and new legal solution spaces are emerging that Danish companies and authorities can use to ensure that they can use services from the largest providers while ensuring compliance with applicable data protection law.
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 the webinar series, we get behind the legal and practical issues that have challenged the area for a number of years, but the focus is also on how to handle GDPR compliance in the cloud in practice and where there are solutions so that the business can benefit from modern, cloud-based IT services and infrastructure, including not least 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.
