Data Privacy post COVID-19: What has changed and where do we go now?

Since the COVID-19 pandemic started last year, privacy has been in the spotlight, becoming an even more important priority, both for individuals and companies. European citizens and businesses have had to radically realign their lives to the new reality. While IT teams struggled with the data security and privacy challenge of a sudden migration to remote working, politicians grappled with how and whether to maintain privacy safeguards as data was shared for contact tracing and medical research.

Join this EURACTIV Virtual Conference to discuss how organisations and legislative institutions are approaching privacy practices and the wider ramifications of these sentiments on international data transfers. As we explore the importance of international uniformity and cooperation, we will address the following questions:

  • Can privacy frameworks take the strain of the pandemic?
  • How have privacy expectations of citizens evolved?
  • How are businesses reacting and why?
  • Where do we go from here for international data transfers?
  • Can international cooperation define a coherent and efficient implementation of data transfer practices?

Almost 3 in 4 businesses in Europe (mainly SMEs) say they don't find employees with the right digital skills. Only 1 in 6 digital specialists is a woman: to me it seems like we are depriving ourselves from half of a potential workforce, @vestager pointed: bit.ly/3vC0uAk
