International Privacy: Working in the Global Cloud and Preparing for the EU’s New Privacy Approach

The FCBA International Telecommunications and Privacy and Data Security Committees will hold a CLE on Tuesday, May 7, 2013 from 6:00 – 8:15 p.m. entitled International Privacy: Working in the Global Cloud and Preparing for the EU’s New Privacy Approach.  This program will be held at Covington & Burling LLP, 1201 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, 11th Floor.

Cloud storage and computing is becoming an entrenched part of the global landscape.  The cloud raises complex privacy and international jurisdiction issues for the practitioner guiding clients through cloud computing agreements.  In addition, the privacy landscape that applies to the 27 member states of the European Union is about to make a dramatic shift.  These countries have shared a general approach to privacy under the framework of the 1995 Data Protection Directive, but the EU is in the midst of a drastic attic-to-basement overhaul of how it will regulate data.  The new Data Protection Regulation, proposed a year ago, would create a new EU-wide regulator, impose a uniform approach on the entire EU, and would increase penalties to up to 2% of a company’s global revenue.  We will have an outstanding group of experts to enlighten us on these engaging global privacy issues.

Registrations and cancellations due by 12:00 Noon, Monday, May 6, 2013.
