In April 2016 the Republic of Turkey published an omnibus data protection act, The Law on the Protection of Personal Data w. no 6698, in the Official Gazette. One of the obligations under this law is to register all data processing operations with the supervisory authority KVKK. At the request of the Turkish business representatives, the deadline for this registration was first postponed until December 31, 2019 and with the latest decision of KVKK on 27th of December, 2019, the deadline for the registration is extended to June 30, 2020. However, it seems no further delay will be announced.
What do organizations need to do to comply with the Turkish Data Protection Act? What does the obligation to register all processing activities entail? And what are the risk of non-compliance? These questions and more will be answered in a special TrustArc -Nymity & Dentons hosted webinar on January 15, 2020.
Key takeaways:
-What are the legal requirements of the law?
-What is the regulatory/enforcement landscape?
-Demonstrating compliance with the Turkish law: taking an Accountability approach
-Using processing activities registered as the basis for the KVKK registration
-Staying up-to-date on Turkey's data protection laws

The document discusses personal data and privacy issues related to cross-border M&A transactions involving Japan. It outlines the key Japanese privacy laws, including proposed amendments. The amendments would restrict international data transfers without consent and apply Japanese privacy law extraterritorially in some cases. Personal data can generally be transferred from the seller to buyer in an M&A, but additional consent may be required for certain uses. International data transfers currently require consent under proposed amendments.
The GDPR aims to protect personal data and privacy for EU citizens, while India's key data protection laws are the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the recently passed Personal Data Protection Act. There are both similarities and differences between these laws in their principles, rights conferred, security measures, compensation, and data transfer provisions. While both require lawful collection and processing of data, the GDPR provides stronger individual rights and accountability measures for organizations.

ALERT: Health Care Cybersecurity Reform and Regulations on the HorizonPatton Boggs LLP
The White House has proposed new cybersecurity legislation that would significantly impact healthcare organizations. The proposals would grant the Department of Homeland Security primary authority over cybersecurity for critical infrastructure like healthcare. This would require healthcare providers to develop cybersecurity plans subject to DHS and third party audits. The proposals would also standardize national data breach notification and preempt state laws, expanding the definition of a breach. Additionally, new tools are proposed to aid law enforcement in cybercrime prosecution. Congress is currently considering these proposals and various bills on cybersecurity reform, so increased regulation of healthcare cybersecurity is imminent.
The UK and EU Personal Data Regime After Brexit: Another Switzerland?David Erdos
These slides provide an overview of the personal data relationship between the UK and EU after Brexit. Under the Trade and Cooperation Agreement, the UK will have the closest connection with the EU here outside the European Economic Area and Switzerland. This is especially clear in the area of justice and security where there is very extensive provision for data exchange based on common standards. However, in the general area of data protection the framework only points to mutual adequacy. Even with the evolving formulation of this as “essential equivalence”, significant flexibility is retained and this may ultimately result in more substantive divergence than EU-Switzerland given the UK’s more distinct data protection approach. Common bona fide implementation of the Council of Europe’s Data Protection Convention 108+ may provide a good lodestar in the medium term and I very tentatively map out what this may could mean for default standards in the UK related to sensitive data and integrity and also specific substantive restrictions to ensure a more graduated approach and reconciliation with other competing rights.

Digital – blue skies or a perfect storm for the taxman capgemini consulting...Rick Bouter
The document discusses how digital technologies are both helping tax authorities combat traditional forms of tax and welfare fraud through data analytics, but are also enabling new types of fraud. Specifically:
- Tax authorities in the UK and US have seen success using big data solutions to analyze extensive personal financial data and reduce the tax gap. For example, HMRC's system delivered £2 billion in additional tax revenues in 2011-2012.
- However, the growth of digital transactions, e-filing of tax returns, and availability of public data online has also created new opportunities for identity theft, payroll, and VAT fraud. For example, identity theft tax fraud in the US resulted in $11 billion in losses in 2012.

The Impact of Digital Technologies on Tax and Welfare
The numbers surrounding tax fraud have always been significant. For instance, in the US, tax evasion resulted in revenue loss of over $300 billion during 2010.
In the UK, the tax gap amounted to £35 billion in between 2012 and 2013. The EU is estimated to have lost over €193
billion in Value-Added Tax (VAT) revenues due to non-compliance or non-collection.
Such large numbers have traditionally kept Government tax and welfare authorities on their toes in the course of
time. Authorities have been engaged in a constant battle with fraudsters.
This research paper examines the advent of digital technologies and how it is helping tax authorities to have a slow, but steady, impact on traditional fraud.

Center for Democracy & Technology
before the
United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary
GDPR & CCPA: Opt-ins, Consumer Control, and the Impact on Competition and Innovation
March 12, 2019
On behalf of the Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT), thank you for the
opportunity to testify about the importance of crafting a federal consumer privacy law that
provides meaningful protections for Americans and clarity for entities of all sizes and sectors.
CDT is a nonpartisan, nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organization dedicated to advancing the
rights of the individual in the digital world. CDT is committed to protecting privacy as a
fundamental human and civil right and as a necessity for securing other rights such as access to
justice, equal protection, and freedom of expression. CDT has offices in Washington, D.C., and
Brussels, and has a diverse funding portfolio from foundation grants, corporate donations, and
individual donations.1
The United States should be leading the way in protecting digital civil rights. This hearing
is an opportunity to learn how Congress can improve upon the privacy frameworks offered in
the European Union via the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California
Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) to craft a comprehensive privacy law that works for the U.S. Our
digital future should be one in which technology supports human rights and human dignity. This
future cannot be realized if people are forced to choose between protecting their personal
information and using the technologies and services that enhance our lives. This future depends
on clear and meaningful rules governing data processing; rules that do not simply provide

people with notices and check boxes but actually protect them from privacy and security
abuses and data-driven discrimination; protections that cannot be signed away.
Congress should resist the narratives that innovative technologies and strong privacy
protections are fundamentally at odds, and that a privacy law would necessarily cement the
market dominance of a few large companies. Clear and focused privacy rules can help
companies of all sizes gain certainty with respect to appropriate and inappropriate uses of data.
Clear rules will also empower engineers and product managers to design for privacy on the
front end, rather than having to wait for a public privacy scandal to force the rollback of a
product or data practice.
We understand that drafting comprehensive privacy legislation is a complex endeavor.
Over the past year we have worked with partners in civil societ.
