A new set of European rules and standards related to privacy and data protection (the General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR) has set in motion a mad compliance and security scramble not only for European companies, but also for any company doing business in Europe or with European customers. The regulation is designed to harmonize privacy across the EU, codify more rigorous privacy rights, strike a balance between privacy and security, and create an explicit obligation for both data controllers and processors to demonstrate compliance with GDPR. The clock is ticking – the regulation goes into effect on May 25th, 2018, and the potential penalties for non-compliance are significant (organizations found to be in breach of GDPR may be fined up to 4% of annual revenues or 20 million Euro, whichever is the greater).

GDPR, the new EU data protection regulation, is just around the corner. The amount of personal data stored by companies and governments has ballooned, and the value of that data has multiplied as more and more personal business is transacted on the internet. Identity theft has become far more prevalent. In addition to the disruption to businesses and the impact on customer loyalty that data breaches create, many jurisdictions are looking to bring their data protection legislation in line with the new, internet-based world – although unfortunately, not into alignment with each other.

As a direct response to the Snowden revelations relating to the bulk collection of personal data by US intelligence the European Commission and the US Department of Commerce jointly developed a new framework purporting to considerably strengthen the protection of privacy rights of EU citizen data when such data is transferred to US data processors and controllers. The previous regime under the Safe Harbor was invalidated by the European Court of Justice in Schrems v. Data Protection Authority, which held that EU citizen’s privacy rights are at risk given the broad overreach by US public authorities.
