What are the global implications of the Dutch DPA’s Uber fine for data transfers? FPF’s Jules Polonetsky, Dr. Gabriela Zanfir-Fortuna, and Fox Rothschild LLP’s Odia Kagan will walk through the details of the decision next Friday at 12 pm ET! Click “attend” to sign-up! https://lnkd.in/e3PDZK8f

Wow, I’m incredibly humbled to speak among such a revered list of AI policy leaders and thinkers at Credo AI Responsible AI Summit. It’s genuinely an honor to share the stage with those who have shaped and continue to influence the future of AI.

The Dutch Data Protection Authority announced last week that Uber would be fined €290 million for transferring drivers’ data to the United States without a valid transfer tool under the GDPR, following the invalidation of Privacy Shield in July 2020. This decision has global implications and is not uniquely about Uber, as many American companies were in the same position after the annulment of Privacy Shield. FPF CEO Jules Polonetsky, VP for Global Privacy Dr. Gabriela Zanfir-Fortuna, and Odia Kagan, Chair of Data Privacy Compliance and International Privacy at Fox Rothschild LLP, will walk through the Dutch DPA decision and discuss its implications for companies and the additional complexities this ruling adds to the already challenging cross-border data transfer regime. We’ll go live at 12:00 pm ET!
