Brazil: Privacy on the Ground Apr 14, 2020

Despite the Corona crisis, the California attorney general has announced the enforcement of the California Consumer Privacy Act will go ahead as planned later this year. However, in Brazil, the Senate on April 3rd adopted legislation to postpone the entry into force of the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais (LGPD) until 1 January 2021. Enforcement is not foreseen until August next year. But postponed or not, the new omnibus data protection legislation in Brazil will have a major impact on companies doing business in the largest country in Latin America. Reason enough to invite two Brasileiros to our program to learn all about the LGPD and the culture of privacy in Brazil.

Join us to hear Rodrigo Dias de Pinho Gomes and Fabricio da Mota Alves discuss the evolution of the LGPD and concerns around its enforcement. In addition, we also touch on judicial ability to rule on cases with personal data implications and the concern about privacy among the population. We were also reminded about Brazil’s interplay with WhatsApp in the 2015 - 2017 timeframe (see link below).

The times of Corona are far from behind us, so also this week, we bring you a medical topic: what is the relation between technological innovation and pharma? How can they work together to facilitate new ways of working? And why do innovation and quick thinking really count in a pandemic like we have now?

Join us to hear Ashley Slavik of Veeva and Jennifer Couture of Alexion discuss the innovation they have seen over the past month - everything from how tech helps companies enhance their business activities to working with colleagues in new ways. Ashley relates how Europe thanks healthcare workers and Jennifer shares how water cooler conversations can still happen. We bring profound insights and tricks to make every day better.

Sharenting - parents sharing kids' information... should we care? Should they care? In this episode, we connect with Drs. Mariea Hoy and Alexa K. Fox on their recent publication, “Smart Devices, Smart Decisions? Implications of Parents’ Sharenting for Children’s Online Privacy,” in Journal of Public Policy & Marketing. This research explored how parents, specifically mothers, post about their children on social media and how they share their children’s personally identifiable information (PII) in a marketing context.

On 8 March, it was International Women’s Day, a good reason for us to dedicate an episode to the role women play in privacy. In this episode, K and Paul speak with TrustArc’s own Hilary Wandall and with Vivienne Artz, the CPO of Refinitiv and Chairwomen of Women in Banking and Finance. You will hear about women's initiatives, privacy being more tech and law focused, mentoring, and privacy heroines. And you get the background behind the quote: “Women don’t need fixing - we are just different”.

You can learn more about Vivienne at https://www.refinitiv.com/perspectives/authors/vivienne-artz/

On 31 January 2020, the United Kingdom left the European Union. For the first time since its creation, a member state has decided to leave the common market, and for now, it is uncertain what the future holds for current privacy legislation. The new relationship between the UK and the EU will be negotiated in the course of this year, with the agreed transition period ending on 31 December. During this period, GDPR will apply as if nothing has changed. But what will happen after?

During this webinar recording, Paul Breitbarth, Ralph O’Brien and Josh Harris discuss Brexit from the EU, UK and US perspective.
