Practical Application of GDPR Regulations

About

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force in May 2018. It applies to all entities that collect and process personal data. The recent months that have passed since the implementation of the regulation have proven that there is a lot of confusion as to how the new regulation should be implemented in practice. Many people, even those who work with personal data on a daily basis, find themselves baffled by the rules. This applies not only to private companies, but also to schools, healthcare providers and public offices. As the result, many people understand the application of GDPR as a ban on any disclosure of personal information, which on the one hand leads to absurd and funny situations and on the other hand may result in negative consequences. Overall, the lack of understanding of the GDPR regulations and insufficient knowledge of the subject cause unnecessary frustration and complications both on the part of administrators and on the part of clients or consumers.

During our summer school, we will dispel the myths and clarify any doubts related to practical applications of the GDPR regulations. We will also answer all questions related to practical implementation of the rules. Upon the completion of the course, the participants should be able to implement the GDPR regulations with easy and without unnecessary doubts.

The team of lecturers includes:

- Experienced practitioners
- Representatives of data protection authorities
- Privacy rights advocates
- Leading academics within the field of data protection
- Members of NGOs
