Current and Practical Information on Cross-border Data Transfer and the EU Data Act 2024 | Deutscher Fachverlag GmbH | 27 February 2024 | Linklaters LLP, Taunusanlage 8 60329 Frankfurt am Main, Germany

The Commission's European data strategy is bearing fruit and is increasingly manifesting itself in legal acts such as the Data Governance Act and the Data Act. As a result of this development, everyone who processes data is confronted with a significantly more heterogeneous and complex legal framework than was the case just a few years ago. In addition to the right to protect personal data, there is now data management law with the free flow of data and the regulation of non-personal data. At the same time, a large number of decisions, guidelines and judgments are issued on the handling of personal data, accompanied by legal acts at home and abroad that address specific aspects of data processing.
We are taking these changed circumstances into account by dividing the program into two parts for the first time:

The morning is all about regulation through the Data Act.

In the afternoon we will then concentrate on a data protection issue that has rightly received a lot of attention in the recent past: cross-border data processing - including and especially regarding transfers to the USA.
