In this episode Jonathan Armstrong and Tom Fox discuss issues relating to data privacy, data protection and GDPR.
They review the recent decision by the Belgian Data Protection Authority which imposed a fine of €50,000 on an un-named organization for non-compliance with the GDPR conflict of interest requirement in the selection of its Data Protection Officer.
Some of the highlights are:
- What were the issues and interests involved in this case?
- What are the requirements for a DPO under GDPR?
- How and why was the company ‘seriously negligent’?
- What are the implications going forward?
- What is this decision’s precedential value?
- How much expertise, authority and autonomy must a DPO have going forward?
