European Union Cross-Border Data Transfer Mechanisms

On March 14, 2017, CincyIP welcomes Matthew D. Lawless and Joshua A. Chowdhury, both of The Procter & Gamble Co., who will speak on the law of transferring personal data outside of the European Union.

Mr. Lawless and Mr. Chowdhury will start with an overview of the EU Data Protection Directive’s requirements regarding lawful transfers, including its derogations and an analysis of the original three lawful data transfer methods: standard contractual clauses, the U.S. / EU Safe Harbor, and binding corporate rules.  They will then explain the successful legal challenge to the Safe Harbor program in 2015.  They will finish by discussing the future of EU data transfers under the U.S. / EU Privacy Shield, the upcoming General Data Protection Regulation, and continuing legal challenges.
