Webinar FAQ 7: Is GDPR-Grade Anonymisation Technically Possible?

Webinar FAQ 7: Is GDPR-Grade Anonymisation Technically Possible?

Anonymisation is a high-risk, short-term strategy. It is no silver bullet. It is difficult if not impossible to achieve in the age of big data, machine learning, and quickly interconnect data sources.

Webinar FAQ 6: Data Pseudonymisation 101 Overview

Webinar FAQ 6: Data Pseudonymisation 101 Overview

The GDPR expressly awards certain benefits to the use of GDPR-compliant Pseudonymisation

Data Privacy: Synthetic Data vs GDPR-Compliant Pseudonymisation

Data Privacy: Synthetic Data vs GDPR-Compliant Pseudonymisation

Using Pseudonymisation allows no data utility to be lost during processing, which can help to ensure that models are trained on representative data. This also allows the processing of more data, which can reduce overfit and underfit issues, and can ensure that results are more reliable.

Webinar FAQ 5: Explain how the GDPR heightened standard for Pseudonymisation is not the same as the

Webinar FAQ 5: Explain how the GDPR heightened standard for Pseudonymisation is not the same as the "casual" understanding of the technique.

The GDPR definition of Pseudonymisation is very different from the pre-GDPR "casual" understanding of the term – you must now satisfy dramatically heightened requirements.

Webinar FAQ 4: Can I rely on statements by US and other non-EEA/Equivalency Country cloud providers that their Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) enable lawful data transfer under Schrems II?

Webinar FAQ 4: Can I rely on statements by US and other non-EEA/Equivalency Country cloud providers that their Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) enable lawful data transfer under Schrems II?

No. Data controllers have an affirmative obligation to ensure that SCCs are augmented with “supplementary measures” that ensure protection equivalent to EU data protection laws. This obligation remains the sole obligation of a data controller under Schrems II unless it is expressly assumed by a cloud provider, in which case it becomes a shared responsibility of the parties.

Webinar FAQ 3: Do Additional Safeguards enable Schrems II Compliant EU employee data processing?

Webinar FAQ 3: Do Additional Safeguards enable Schrems II Compliant EU employee data processing?

Yes. If you are already practicing Data Protection by Design and By Default, most employee-related processing involving EU personal data can continue using additional safeguards like GDPR-heightened Pseudonymisation.

Webinar FAQ 2: Do Boards of Directors and stockholders need to be made aware of Schrems II? What about Financial auditors and vertical industry regulators?

Webinar FAQ 2: Do Boards of Directors and stockholders need to be made aware of Schrems II? What about Financial auditors and vertical industry regulators?

Due to potential material adverse impacts of Schrems II noncompliance, consult with legal counsel regarding your obligation to disclose facts to internal and external stakeholders to avoid potential liability.

Webinar FAQ 1: Are BCRs similarly affected by Schrems II like SCCs?

Webinar FAQ 1: Are BCRs similarly affected by Schrems II like SCCs?

Under Schrems II, both BCRs & SCCs require additional safeguards to ensure that foreign laws do not impinge on the EU level of protection they guarantee.

Schrems II - Data Embassy for Cloud

Schrems II - Data Embassy for Cloud

On 16 July 2020, the highest court in the EU, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), issued a final, unappealable ruling known as “Schrems II” which invalidated the EU-US Privacy Shield for international data transfers.

Benefits of Pseudonymisation Under the GDPR

Benefits of Pseudonymisation Under the GDPR

Anonymisation under the GDPR requires irrevocably severing all links between data and the data subject. In contrast, Pseudonymisation (as newly defined under GDPR Article 4(5)) means maintaining those links (suitably accessible by encrypted keys and the like) in the hands of authorized parties only and requiring access to secured keys to see the underlying data or to reveal linkages to underlying data.

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) are two notable examples of the legislation that have now been implemented to regulate the access to, and use of, personal data.
