CPDP 2020: Enforcement of GDPR – A reality check.
DATE: Wednesday 22 January 2020
VENUE: Petite Halle
SLOT: 08.45
ORGANISED BY: Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung & Trans Atlantic Consumer Dialogue
MODERATOR: BurcuKilic
Panel Description:
This panel will considerhow aspects of privacy and data protection are working for consumers in theEuropean Union and the United States, with reference to the services of large platforms - e.g. Amazon, Netflix and Spotify. There are differences on how users are treated in terms of their privacy on each side of the Atlantic. While the EU has a harmonised legal base with GDPR, key objectives of EU law still require stronger oversight and enforcement, e.g. the objective to ensure that businesses are transparent and clear about the use of people’s data as well as the exercise of key rights. This panel debate is timely, as an evaluation of GDPR is due by the European Commission in May 2020, while the US is slowly but surely gearing up to implementing privacy laws on the federal level. It is important that consumer and privacy organisations encourage enforcement through continued investigation and taking cases to court.
