CIPL Quarterly Reports

CIPL Quarterly Report: January - March 2018

Message from President Bojana Bellamy
​
With many of our members heads down with the preparation for the GDPR implementation date, we at CIPL have been continuing to inform and build bridges between different stakeholders, to help develop consistent and forward thinking interpretations of the new obligations and to promote accountability and best practices in implementing the new requirements. As part of our GDPR Implementation Project, CIPL has submitted several consultation papers to the Article 29 Working Party (WP29) on: Binding Corporate Rules Working Documents, its Transparency Guidelines, Consent Guidelines and Guidelines on the Accreditation of Certification Bodies. CIPL has also submitted our white paper on GDPR Implementation in Respect of Children’s Data and Consent to the WP29 and UK ICO, and released a Factsheet on the key issues relating to the relationship between the proposed ePrivacy Regulation and the GDPR. We’ve also released our 2nd GDPR Readiness Survey Report in collaboration with AvePoint. In January, CIPL held an extensive workshop in Dublin with the Irish Data Protection Commissioner on delivering accountability under the GDPR. Beyond our work on GDPR, CIPL has launched a new project on Accountable AI to provide a more nuanced and detailed understanding of the opportunities presented by AI, potential misalignment with data protection laws, and practical and operational controls to address these issues through the lens of organisational accountability. AI will also be the focus of CIPL’s 2018 Annual Executive Retreat, which is being held from 25-27 June in San Francisco in the margins of the 49th Asia-Pacific Privacy Authorities (APPA) Forum. Please, save these dates. Finally, our CIPL team is growing to be able to support your growing needs and demand for our work – and that is a great thing! We have hired Nathalie Laneret, former Group DPO CapGemini,  as Director of Global Privacy Policy. She has just started on 7 May, and will be based in Brussels and Paris. I am confident she will further enhance CIPL’s impact in Europe and beyond. I encourage you to read the details of CIPL’s ongoing work below, and I look forward to seeing many of you at our Retreat this summer.
