Eight years after GDPR came into force, data protection is entering a new phase. The EU is progressing its Digital Omnibus reforms, which aim to simplify parts of GDPR and reduce administrative burdens while strengthening transparency and user rights. At the same time, enforcement has accelerated, with authorities issuing record fines, pursuing cross border cases more quickly and placing new attention on AI and automated decision making.
This anniversary webinar will explore the biggest lessons from eight years of GDPR, the most significant enforcement actions, and what the future of global data protection will look like. We will examine the real impact of the proposed Omnibus changes, the latest high profile fines and judgments, and the growing regulatory pressure on AI, profiling and data-driven decision making. We will look at what organisations must do now to stay compliant, accountable and prepared for increased scrutiny.
Join VinciWorks’ data protection experts for a practical, forward-looking session marking GDPR’s eighth anniversary.
