Episode 181 — Data Privacy Developments from August 2024

Data Privacy Detective

Tune in for our August 2024 roundtable about three hot data privacy developments. Yugo Nagashima and Brio St. Amour join the Data Privacy Detective to plumb meaning beneath the headlines:

• The Netherland Data Protection Authority fines Uber 290 million Euros for data transfers of sensitive private information.
• Minnesota adopts a data privacy code.
• Data brokers emerge from the shadows after an enormous database hack and a call to action.

Consider what happens when the European Court of Justice invalidates a U.S./EU safe harbor, and before the next one is in place, a company transfers data to the U.S. without complying with GDPR requirements - so says a Dutch regulator, levying a 290 million fine.

Minnesota adopts a state data privacy code, joining about a third of the states to do so. Is it a copycat or pioneer?

After what some claim was the biggest data hack in history - exposing highly sensitive personal information when a data broker’s database was taken and offered for sale on the dark web, one leading commentator issues a call to action for regulation and business self-action. Is the spotlight now on data brokers?
