A draft of the new "General Data Protection Regulation" has officially been published in January 2012. The draft Regulation intends greater harmonisation but will also bring a radical change to the existing legal framework and a significantly stricter data protection regime, requiring more action by companies with tough penalties of up to 2% of the annual worldwide turnover for the most serious data protection violations. In this session, you will receive an overview of the new rules and learn how the new rules will impact the way companies use and transfer personal data.
