New General Data Protection Regulation (Agnes Andersson Hammarstrand)Nordic APIs
This is a session given by Agnes Andersson Hammarstrand at Nordic APIs 2016 Platform Summit on October 25th, in Stockholm Sweden.
Description:
This spring a new EU General Data Protection Regulation was adopted to replace the current personal data legislations. Companies that break the rules risk fines of up to 4 % of the worldwide group turnover. The new regulations entail a large number of news that all companies should be informed about. Among other things, IT systems need to be adapted to privacy under the principles of privacy by design.
Agnes Hammarstrand, partner at Delphi Law firm and expert within IT and online provides an introduction to the new regulations and what you need to do.

The EU Data Protection Regulation - what you need to knowSophos Benelux
De komende EU Data Beschermingsregulering vraagt van organisaties wereldwijd dat zij de data beveiligen die zij beheren en bezitten van Europese burgers. Het is algemeen aanvaard dat encryptie de beste methode is om te voldoen aan deze nieuwe regulering. Wanneer een lek ontstaat en u kunt aantonen dat alle persoonlijke data was versleuteld, verkleint de kans aanzienlijk dat u vanuit de EU een boete ontvangt.
Veel organisaties hebben geen idee wat deze nieuwe regulering inhoudt of hoe zij zich moeten voorbereiden op deze nieuwe regels. Behoort uw organisatie ook tot deze groep?

EU General Data Protection Regulation & Transborder Information FlowDavid Erdos
These slides are based on the talk I gave to the Wisconsin International Law Journal's Annual Symposium "Stamping Privacy's Passport? The Role of International Law in Safeguarding Individual Privacy" (Wisconsin, USA; 8 April 2016). This talk argued that European data protection's formal understanding of transborder data flow regulation (TBDF) is not only potentially very broad but has not appropriately balanced data protection against other key rights such as freedom of information and association. Many of these existing structural difficulties are exacerbated under the newly agreed General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In order to better reconcile the values at stake, Data Protection Authorities (DPAs) should also develop models to "authorize" low-risk TBDFs via self-certification by data controllers themselves. Member States should also make broad use of the derogations the Regulation leaves available. More generally, a contextual, risk-based interpretation of the GPDR must be developed which seeks to provide robust privacy and other individual safeguards without putting in jeopardy Europe’s other core values and liberties.

The Central and Eastern Europe countries are undergoing significant change as they accelerate to becoming digital economies. A key cornerstone for the region’s future economic success is the quality of its justice system. Investors will steer clear of societies who have anything less than a robust justice system.

Everything you need to know about the GDPRSpoon London
The frequency of data-related incidents could change with the impending General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) – the EU’s law that comes into effect in May. The major update to the previous EU data protection law aims to regulate the use and treatment of an individual’s personal data.
A new regulation means organisations that use data will need to be more careful and explicit with gaining consent. After May, companies that maintain poor data protection practices will not only be breaking the law, but could face a hefty €20 million fine or four per cent of a company’s annual turnover.
Needless to say, the GDPR is a pretty big deal with even bigger consequences. Still, no need to panic. Here's everything you need to know about the GDPR.

Discussion of the main elements of the draft Data Protection Regulation: what difference will it make to industry practice and user rights to control their data?
IT law : the middle kingdom between east and WestLilian Edwards
Privacy as a value is often as conflicting with and less important than other major societal goals such as nation state secureity and business profits. China as a socialist state emerging a a major digital economuic force may fall prey to both these assumptions. However the recent history in the West shows that over zealous national secueity infringing citizen privacy, as revealed in the recent Snowden PRISM/TEMPORA etc scandals, may backlash against business profits as well as reducing citizen trust in security.China can learn from these lessons as it expands its own privacy law especially in the IT/telecoms area.

Data Protection Rules are Changing: What Can You Do to Prepare?Lumension
The European Union’s proposed new data protection regulation aims to update Europe’s data protection laws and to provide a more consistent data protection framework across the Continent.
But the new regulation, which replaces the EU’s existing data protection directive and member states’ data protection laws, will put some new demands on organisations holding personal data. Breach disclosure and “the right to be forgotten” will force businesses to update their data protection and retention policies.
This presentation will:
- Review the current EU laws, and contrast them with laws in other parts of the world;
- Examine the arguments for strengthening data protection in Europe, and the likely outcomes;
- Look at what security teams should already be doing to put themselves ahead of legislative changes;
- Outline strategies and technologies organisations need to meet current and future data protection requirements
- Help infosecurity teams to explain the changes – and their consequences – to their boards

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

#First_India_NewsPaper
1. Data Protection Reform
A framework for the 21st century
Giorgos ROSSIDES
Communications Officer, DG Justice
2. Why change the rules on data protection?
• New challenges for the protection of personal
data (globalisation, new technologies)
• Problems for individuals
• Problems for business
3. New challenges for EU data protection
Globalisation
Internet
Online social networking
E-commerce
Online databases
Electronic health
records
Cloud computing
RFID
Face recognition
Role of DPAs
Geo-location
Video surveillance
Profiling
Behavioural advertising
Biometric data
Genetic data
Law enforcement
Security breaches
Identity theft
Nanotechnology
Governance
4. Problems for citizens
• Insufficient awareness, loss of control and trust,
particularly in the online environment:
75% of respondents in recent Eurobarometer say they have only
partial or no control of their data online.
2 in 3 citizens say they are worried about this.
92% of Europeans are concerned about mobile apps collecting
their data without their consent
• Difficulties in exercising data protection rights:
difficulties to exercise right of access to one’s personal data, e.g.
when asking for deletion;
difficulties to access effective remedies;
difficulties to withdraw and transfer personal data from an
application or service (“data portability”)
5. Lack of confidence - ecommerce
Reasons for not buying online (% of individuals that have not ordered online during last year), 2009
0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70%
Others
Speed of the Internet connection is too slow
delivery of goods ordered over the Internet is
a problem
Don't have a payment card allowing to pay
over the Internet
Relevant information about goods and
services difficult to find on website
lack of skills
Trust concerns
Privacy concerns
Payment security concerns
I prefer to shop in person, like to see
product, loyalty to shops, force of habit
I have no need
6. Problems for business
• Fragmentation and legal uncertainty: costs of legal
fragmentation within Internal Market estimated to almost
EUR 3 billion per annum for businesses trading cross-
border.
• Red tape: rules which add little value in terms of data
protection (e.g. notifications to national data protection
authorities)
• Inconsistent enforcement of DP rules across the EU:
lack of level playing field on compliance and enforcement
between MS, accentuated by divergences in powers and
resources in national DP authorities, and lack of effective
co-operation between them.
7. Data Protection Regulation – Main Changes
PUTTING CITIZENS IN CONTROL OF THEIR DATA
• An enhanced “right to be forgotten”
• More transparency about data processing
• Consent to be given explicitly, whenever required
• Notifications of data breaches and stronger data
security
• Strengthened national DPAs
• Sanctions with teeth
8. Data Protection Regulation – Main Changes
RULES FIT FOR THE DIGITAL SINGLE MARKET
• Regulation is directly applicable and removes
fragmentation, saving business EUR 2,3 billion/year
• Cutting red tape (e.g abolishing notifications, savings of
EUR 130 million/year)
• One-stop shop system for data protection in the EU: only
one DPA checks compliance of a business, regardless of how
many countries the business may be active in.
• Better enforcement and more level playing field through
stronger national DPAs
• Easier international transfers of data (adequacy, BCRs,
clearer territorial scope of EU rules)
9. • Their large-scale collection and processing of
personal data raise serious concerns about:
Their impact the fundamental rights of Europeans
Their proportionality and necessity
On the protection not afforded to EU citizens.
Europeans do not enjoy the same rights and
procedural safeguards than Americans
9
EU-US data relations: mass surveillance?
10. EU response to surveillance revelations
• November 2013: EU publishes:
Strategy document: Rebuilding Trust in EU-US data flows
Findings of EU-US working group on PRISM
Review of Safe Harbour: 13 Recommendations
• US Reaction: Obama announcements Jan 2014:
Willingness to address concerns on large-scale data collection by
NSA
Extend some protection currently available only to US citizens
to non US citizens when it comes to data collection (though not yet
legally binding)
Announcement of broad review of US data protection norms
applying to 'Big Data'
10
11. The new DP rules and foreign surveillance
5 reasons why the Data Protection reform is Europe's best
response to fears of surveillance.
1. Non-European companies must respect EU data protection
law, when offering goods and services to European consumers, or
monitor their behaviour
2. Sanctions for abuses up to 2% of the annual worldwide turnover
3. International transfers: clear conditions under which data can
be transferred outside the EU.
4. Cloud computing: the Regulation sets out clear rules on the
obligations and liabilities of data processors such as cloud
providers, including on security.
5. Law Enforcement: the data protection package will lead to the
establishment of comprehensive rules for the protection of
personal data processed in the law enforcement sector.
11
12. The way forward
• EP: strong negotiation mandate to Rapporteurs Albrecht
and Droutsas (confirming and in many cases
strengthening Commission proposals in proposed
amendments). EP votes in plenary on 12 March.
• Council: discussed repeatedly by national Ministers in
the Justice Council. Agreement in principle on the "one-
stop shop" reached at the Council in October 2013. An
agreement on the reform is possible before the end of
this year.
• European Council: "timely adoption"
