Privacy & Data Protection

Privacy is no longer optional — it's a fundamental right in the EU and an increasing regulatory requirement globally. This track covers GDPR from the ground up (principles, legal bases, data subject rights, DPIAs, breach notification, international transfers), CCPA/CPRA for US operations, and the practical challenge of building and running a privacy program that actually works. Built for DPOs, privacy analysts, compliance managers, and anyone handling personal data.

GDPR — Article by Article Where It Matters

The General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) has been in force since May 25, 2018. It applies to any organization processing personal data of individuals in the EU, regardless of where the organization is located. Maximum fines: €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover (whichever is higher) for the most serious violations, €10 million or 2% for lesser violations. Over €4.5 billion in fines have been issued since 2018.

Personal data must be processed lawfully (based on one of six legal bases), fairly (processing must not be detrimental, unexpected, or misleading to the data subject), and transparently (data subjects must be informed about how their data is used in clear, plain language). Transparency requires providing privacy notices at the time of data collection that explain: who is processing the data, for what purposes, on what legal basis, who it will be shared with, how long it will be retained, and what rights the data subject has.
